everyone who says same head bolts as the head.....have you ever done this swap? i've done it 2 times and from my experience i used the a6 head bolts for all except for the back left (right in front of the vtec solenoid) i used the y8 head bolt, with success. the y8 bolts had half the thread that the a6 bolts. as for the timing belt i used the z6, it was kind of tricky to get on but it worked.

Yes, I have done the swap, hell, I'm the guy that did the writeup for it for HMT. I don't know about the bolts because I just used ARP's, but if you are using the Z6 head, use the Z6 belt, if you are using the Y8 head, use the Y8 belt, they are different.
