SOHCZC bottom end, pnp/milled/cam'd Z6 head. What headbolts? I searched and came up empty. Most seem to imply that there is no need to buy new headbolts. And I can use the stock ones, but I'd like to make sure. Thanks in advance

 

Come on now, someone show me the light.

 

stock headbolts should be fine

 

^ You rock. Anyone else wanna help verify this? Thx again.

 

i have stock a6 head bolts on a y8/a6 mini-me with no problems.

 

i thought you were suppose to change because they get weak?and to replace with arp head bolts etc...

 

you're supposed to check them for stretch (lay the threads across each other). My car only had 110k miles on them and this was the first time the head had been pulled so i'm not too worried about them being weak.

ARP head studs would be nice but i didn't see a reason. If you have the money, go for it. I'm on a budget though which is why i don't even have my p28 in yet.

 

stock A6 bolts Z6 head... loving the boost.

 

I have a 91 crx si, with 212,000 miles on the motor, will the 91 crx si head bolts be good to use on my mini me swap (D16Z6 head)? Or are the head bolts to old to use? plz help thank you philliecrx

 

milage has nothing to do w/ stretch. its how many times they have been tourqed. For the price of ARPs get them for peace of mind (especially if u are going turbo)

 

Thanks a million also is there any tips or problems that i might run into besides the dist.. for my mini me swap.

things that i have
--------------------
Z6 vtec head
pg7 ecu
B&M adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Skunk 2 adjustable cam gear
Fields SFC vtec controller
LS injectors
Chikara headers
Stock exhaust
Stock fuel rail

Also is there any tips that you guys can help me out with, for hooking up the vtec controller to the pg7 ecu? thanks hilliecrx

 

just for reference...
i swapped a d16b7 non-vtec head onto a d15b2 block
mainly for cheapness...not going for power here using dpfi manifold
just wanted to comment that the outside most rear head bolts from the d15b2 are too long and u have to use 2 of the d16b7 bolts to be able to tq them down. the 97 bolts are about 1.5 inches shorter than the 89 bolts.
this is a 97 dx head on a 89 block using a 89 headgasket and 97 timing belt
the 89 timing belt is also 4 teeth or so longer but i used the 97 belt and the tensioner had enough play to make it work
