Default which headstuds are used for LS/VTEC

Just like the topic reads. Does it matter which cylinder head your using? (b18c or b16). Would the block make a difference in which ones you use as well. (LS or B20)

Thanks for the help.

I did a search but I didn't find anything specifically...

GSR/ITR are longer than LS and B16... Those are recommended stock replacements.

Correctamundo .

If you get ARP head studs, get the ones for the GSR, but still bolt them down to spec.

Can you use B16 head studs on an LS/VTEC. The reason I ask is because my friend did an LS/VTEC for some guy, and the guy claims that the car started smoking so he took it to a shop where they pulled the head off, and 3 of the headstuds were stripped, and some even broke in the block. Is this possible from just normal driving? Sounds to me like the guy was over reving or something... I know he was running a Skunk2 chipped ecu with a 9000 redline.

ARP sells B20/VTEC bolts, but I think there also used for LS/VTEC. The LS, and B18C bolts I believe are the same lenght...
