is it possible? has anyone ever tried it? i bought some arp head studs, but unfortunately on 2 of the holes of the block is either too shallow..when i put the head on, theres some spaces on the studs.can i put washers in also? but where can i get washers that doesnt compress and can take heat?..i have a y8 head and a z6 bottom..no one has every answer this question yet..so im wondering whats going to happen? so bolt pattern is..

y8 z6 z6 z6 y8
z6 z6 z6 z6 z6

i got that info from one of the techs here. but he used all head bolts..but i bought head studs..so will combining the bolts and studs..is there going to be a problem? thanks.

 

so your still trying to figure this out

I used extra washers from ARP that I got from summit racing

This stud gets one extra--->y8 z6 z6 z6 y8<---this stud gets two extra
........................................z6 z6 z6 z6 z6

 

is it going to be expensive to just buy 2 studs?

 

still havent answer my question yet .. anyone?? i need to know ASAP..

 

whats wrong with OE head bolts?

 

the honda dealer out here sells them seperatly and i think they were around 2 bucks to 2.50 for each one, the whole set cost me 21.00 bucks. good luck gloria

This guy has it right. Do not under any circumstances combine oe head bolts and arp head studs!
