I have a question, my y7 head swap onto my a6 block in my crx has fitment issues with the stock head bolts! The y7 head holes are too small? Is this normal in the y7 and y8 heads? Also if i need to get new head bolts what ARP ones do you guys think will work in the y7 holes?

I have searched so if you are here to flame me LEAVE! I will take your name to the moderator if you get out of hand!

 

anyone?

 

1st of all, when bolting that head on the d16a6 block you need 9 a6 bolts and 1 y7/y8 bolt for the corner.

2nd,the bolts should fit through the holes,something's wrong


edit--I just looked, arp actually makes a kit that comes with the shorter bolt now,never had this before. http://shopping.lightningmotor...age=1

 

ok i'll re-check them and measure them. Then I'll post the measurements!

 

so the y8 casting is really close to the y7 casting im guessing correct or no? i just want to order a kit and get the right stuff so im checking the fitment and any problems i might run into.
