does ARP make these, ive searched and only found the head bolts. i was told if i use head studs then i dont have to relocate my dowel pins on the ls/vtec. can someone confirm this.

thanx

 

the dowel pins are necessary to properly located the head.
ARP studs do not do this. They hold the head down to the block.

 

ohok. so ill use them then. but they have ARP studs out dont they.?

thanx

 

yes. for a long time now.

 

Forget
ARP head studs get AEBS head studs there way thicker and dont stretch also I think ARP makes them for AEBS anyways go check them out they also have a little piece at the bottom to help friction with torquing them down so they fill up the entire area

 

ALL bolts/studs stretch.

D

 

I concur

Import Builders would probably have them in stock.
