Good News...5VZ ARP Head Studs!

After having a hard time searching for ARP head studs that will work for my 5VZ, I finally have the answer. Gadget from URD informed me that ARP studs for a 2JZ will work. I actually went as far as to measure the holes in the block and head and fill out a worksheet that ARP has in their catalog, but when those studs arrived, they did not fit (much to my dissapointment!) I overnighted the 2JZ kit from Summit Racing (great customer service..I highly recommend...at least until Weasy starts carrying them ) and upon comparing the 2ZJ studs to the stock bolts, the 2JZ are only a couple mm longer. I will be installing them this weekend, so I'll have a final answer then. One problem--the 2JZ kit only has 14 studs, washers, and nuts...I believe 16 are needed for the 5VZ, so I also had 2 more of them overnighted from ARP. Here are the part numbers for those who are interested:

2JZ kit (14 studs, washers, nuts, and installation lube) 203-4205
2JZ head stud atp4.500-1lb
2JZ washer 200-8511
2JZ nut 300-8303
