Default Are main studs the same as head studs?

So I blew a head gasket and I'm going to buy some ARP headstuds. I found a set of ARP main studs on Summit Racing, and I'm wondering if main studs are the same thing as head studs?

this isnt really the type of question you ask on a board. but theyre the studs that hold the main bearings.

there is. honda uses bolts factory, but you can change out to studs if you want. better idea especially if you want a higher revving bottom end. helps prevent crank walk too.
