Can I Reuse my stock headstuds?
I am putting p30's in my b18c1 in the next few days, and I was wondering if I can reuse my stock headstuds?
Or go ahead and get ARP's?
The C/R should be about 11.6:1.
Well here is the setup:
Usdm B18c1
p30 pistons
"skunk2" intake manifold
an-r header
fidanza 7lb flywheel
padawan ps kit
stock cams for now
My other question is, I am going to be running on stock injectors (I believe 270's) and 0BD2b p72.
Will the stock injectors be sufficent?
Will it run well enough for break in, or what should I do? It will be tuned with uberdata as soon as i can get it done.
PS- I tried searching on the headstuds etc.

They can be reused, but 95% of people will say just to get new ones - I would never reuse them, to me it is not worth the chance blowing a headgasket and possibly damaging your new engine

You should always replace head studs after they've been used as they stretch when they are torqued down and become slightly weakened when reused. Stock Honda head bolts are plenty strong, so unless you can get the ARP's for less money there would be no advantage to using them.
Your stock fuel injectors will be fine for your relatively mild setup, you really don't need bigger ones as you won't be close to maxing out what you already have.
