The 208-4303 head studs are aimed at engine builders, swap enthusiasts, and repair shops working on GSR and B18 platforms that need reliable head sealing under load. Each stud is machined to hold torque evenly so the head gasket stays compressed across the deck surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBuilt For Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e208-4303 reference number matches the common aftermarket head stud set for B-series engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStud-and-nut design allows repeat torque cycles during rebuilds without replacing bolts each time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven clamping load across the cylinder head helps reduce gasket failure between cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for the B18C, B18C1, and other B18 DOHC VTEC head bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable hardware suited to engines that see repeated teardown and inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFits These Machines\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor Honda Acura GSR B18C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor Honda Acura B18C1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor Honda Acura B18 DOHC VTEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOn-The-Job Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylinder head installation during a rebuild or refresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoosted B18 builds that need stronger head clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead gasket replacement where factory bolts are being retired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine swap projects using GSR B18C and B18C1 long blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecs At A Glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208-4303\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Acura B-series DOHC VTEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB18C, B18C1, B18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGood To Know\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do these studs need a specific torque sequence? \u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, head studs on B-series engines should be torqued in stages following the factory sequence and the torque spec for the studs being installed.
