ok so king motorsports lists the same part number for integra/civic with either b16a or b18c (arp-208-5403). The arp catalog lists the part for b18c's as arp-208-5403, and 16's as arp-208-5402 and are 12 point...and summit lists the first part number that king lists but only for b16's...so what the heck studs do i order? are all the be series interhangeable?
these are going on a b18b1 block with gsr girdle and main caps...need those so i cant the damn thing into the machine shop to be line bored!

please help!

thanks

Call ARP and verify which part you need. I know the ARP head studs are different because of the different block heights. However, I can't say for sure if the main studs are the same for b16/b18. Part numbers in catalogs and on websites aren't always accurate, best to check with the manufacturer to confirm.

best to just call and confirm.. you need the arp bolts to match whatever head you are puttin on that ls block..

The B16 doesn't use a main girdle. The B18C does. If you are using a girdle, you want B18C studs. Otherwise, B16 studs are what you want.

I wouldn't bother unless you either have huge power goals or have lost the stock bolts.
