Replacing my head gasket and was wondering if I can use Head Bolts from a B18A1 on a B18B1 engine??? Also, where is a good place to buy head bolts for a B18B1? Why are they so hard to find and so expensive...$130??? Thanks!!!

 

I think they should be similar, if not, the same. But it would be better to get some brand new ones because from being tightened and untightened, the threads are stressed. 130? If they are ARP, the price isnt too bad, but the dealer sells em for 10-13 bux each.

 

Im definitely gettin new Head Bolts. I found some ARP Head Bolts for B18A1 and wondering if I can use those on my B18B1?

 

yup.... sure can..... you can get them off of summit racing for 91 dollars and some change. You can also get them just about everywhere too..... you can also get a kit for 130 and it will include some other various bolts as well. I personally have ARP headbolts and rod bolts and i enjoy having them......

here ya go!

And while your at it, go ahead and get you a cometic head gasket too.......

 

I actually have the main stud kit but they are for the crankshaft not the head. They are way too short to be head bolts.
