after a bit more research the overall consesus is that blockguards arent worth it. they cause warping and hotspots. so for now jus the headstuds. ill do a seperate thread on bg's.

fj distributors for ARP studs, you will want the D16Z6 ones.
but regular head bolts should be ok for a JRSC setup.
blockguards are to keep the cylinders in place, not an issue with Honda motors because of less crank offset than some motors.

Yeah but people run 300whp Ds on stock sleeves with no guard all day too. He's not going to make anywhere near that much power on a JRSC set up, so he's really got nothing to worry about, and the block guard may cause cooling issues down the road, so it could turn out to be more trouble than it's worth.

I have friends making 450-550 on stock sleeves all day everyday. You'll be okay
Go to honda and buy OEM head bolts. they are around $35-40 bucks for all of them and they work better than arp's. Same cars listed above are on oem ones
