Studs hold your head on. You want new rod bolts. Which I'm sure is what you meant to type anyway.

Yeah that's what I meant to say, I had rod bolts in there too lol. Anyways if you want a good lsvtec site check out

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/lsvtec/lsvtec.php

This one is for a b20vtec and is a newer article, but it's the same principles as an lsvtec.

Default another question..

will the b16 or b18c head line up PERFECTLY to the b18b block? I saw in one set of directions that they relocated a dowel on a b18a. Does this have to happen on the b18b block or the vtec head?

You relocate 2 dowels on the head.

yep I knew that from the start.. I just wasn't sure exactly what needs to be done at a machine shop, but since the new holes have to be drilled in the head it makes it easier.
