aebs makes a MAIN STUD kit for b16 kit and b18c...from what i understand on a stock motor...the b18c has the girdle, so the middle studs are longer (correct me if im wrong), the b16 are all the same length..
question is...on a LS/b20 motor, which do u use? im assumin b16, but are they the right length? possibly too short? too long?

remember im talkin MAIN STUDS not head studs!!!

thanks!

 

i guess no one knows huh?

 

everyone stumped?

 

The main studs will not all be the same length on a B16. #3 mains are larger on a B16 and a B18C. Check your stock main bolts, the middle are larger. I'm using the ARP main stud kit for the B16 and the kit does include a pair of studs that are slightly larger than the others.

 

i ahve the aebs kit downstairs for b18c. the middle oens are longer, and also torque to a different spec. its for sale if u want them IMme

 

i've never seen a main bolt fail....why not just get new oe ones?

 

studs are good for people that are pulling the motor apart alot saves on your blocks main threads.
