If you dont 'know' about the bolts on your engine, my guess is you havent got them. Someone wouldnt spend £100+ on some head bolts & not brag about them.

The original bolts were regular hex shaoed, but for quite a few years now, replacement head bolts have been the torx type heads that could be mistaken for ARP's by a complete fool. Quite why an 8v would warrant ARP's anyway is beyond me.

If its a 8v you'll been either type of head bolt.(bolt or stud kit)
If its a 16v lump you wont seen them as they are finish inside the head.

So if it was a 16v lump you wouldn't see the bolts/studs and nuts at all.

And he asks about non stretch head bolts, the only ones that don't stretch are/is a stud kit. Which the thread started didn't know.. So he's using "head studs" as a generic term.
