Hi
I have a 1990 Honda civic Si hatch I'm trying to do a mini me swap. I have the head however I don't know what headstuds to use or main studs to use. Do I use the y8 or a6 studs??
If you use a y8/y7 head with a pre-1996 SOHC block you need to use 9 88-95 SOHC head studs and 1 96-00 head stud. Basically 9 long ones and 1 short one for the hole near the distributor on the intake side.
If you take your head off and have the 10 stock bolts that are all the same length then screw them all the way down in the block you'll see one will be sitting higher that the others, that's where the short stud will go.
