Default ARP head studs, difference between LS/vtec kit, b16a and b18c...

Yesterday at the shop we compare ARP b16a studs and b18c studs

they look exactly the same

we are sure that it'S the same for LS/vtec ARP head studs kits (the kit is more expensive than GSR/b16a kit)

someone had more infos about it?

b16 and gsr head studs are not the same...try using b16 head studs in a gsr block and see what happens...if they were interchangeable they would market them as fitting both models...

do not listen to this guy...he made another post saying that he compared b16 to gsr headstuds and they were the same...THEY ARE NOT THE SAME...if they were the same why would arp advertise them seperately?

True. The only ones that ARE the same is the GSR studs and the LS/Vtec or B20/Vtec studs. Rest are different.
