ah so your using the ones for the B16 huh, so they are the same thread and same height basicly then huh, or are they a little taller. But hey if they use all the threads in the block and go down to where they are supposed to then i dont see why not use them.

And what torque did you apply to these when installing them.

see well thats good to know information if the b16 vtec studs are the same as the SR20 ones. I was almost gonna ask being most imports using the same bolt size usually have the same thread pitch as well so that makes sense. But again this is good to know information on a very nice alternative to using anything else.

Dammit Nate don't tell me that! Basically what you're telling me then, is that my block would be ruined if I had to take them out?

Final torque was 75 ft lbs for me. They also have where you torque them back and forth to get the threads to bed in properly (it is on an instruction sheet).

They are the same for our purposes. The studs sticks up more out of nut than arp's, but it is good. You just have to have the deep socket 12pt, regular depth socket doesn't work.
