Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

y woulndt it work with z6 studs?

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

cuz the stock y8 had ONE head stud that is shorter then the rest. due to fitment in the head. u must use arp y8 or oem y8 studs.

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

so your telling me the z6 stud will be too long right? ill just double the washer then, will fix it right away.

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

i guess you could.. but it wont be "ideal".

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

i used z6 arp studs with 8 washers on each bolt :-\ :-X
held fine na

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

u used the z6 studs yesterday on them didnt even have to put anything on just the washer that came with it. fits fine torqued down to 65ft lbs ok.

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

which bolt was shorter? i put together a z6 block/ y8 head with the z6 head bolts and the #4 cylinder leaked but i thought it was a bad headgasket. any idea?

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

it is the one sits closest to the valve cover breather.
it`s amlost 10mm longer.

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

really? mine seated down fine i watched it the whole time, i used z6 studs also.

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

so your saying that one is actually longer? i thought one was shorter???

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

on that one spot of the Y8 head, Z6 headbolt will be TOO long.
so one of the Y8 headbolt is SHORTHER than the Z6s

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

lol, maybe you got a z6 that was tapped further down....or you created some new threads

Re:z6 block y8 head?
 

ok well im running this setup, i got y8 headstuds first and they were all too short other than 2......then i got the z6 ones and they work great, i had to use 2 washers on 2 of the studs.....good luck!
