i just tore my LS/V out of my teg and am builing a straight non vtec boost motor.

will LS/Vtec ARP headbolts work? i compared them to regular LS head bolts and are same exact size.

the bolts are still in good shape and am going to buy more of the assembly lube for them.

but just wanted to get a quick heads up so i dont blow the motor when its done hah.

 

No the center two are longer on the non V.. I have a set of non V ARP studs new in box if you are interested

 

if the centers are longer will they still work though? because it would still be able to be torqued to the right position correct? or would the longer threads **** up where holes for the bolts?

 

the LS bolts/studs are like an inch longer .... so if you have a set for a b16/b18c head the center two will be too short.

 

gotcha thanks.
