no - you are meant to change the headbolts, not the mainbolts...

i dont think there is a strong reason to change the mainstuds on a non-boosted B20VTEC.

u mean the head studs? i found a link that shows exactly what you were talking about re-threading the main studs using the ARP fasteners.
can i use B16A main bolts or are they different size/thread?

FYI - Hondas are build with headBOLTS and mainBOLTS

you MUST change the B20B headBOLTS to either B18C headBOLTS or aftermarket headSTUDS...

Normally people do not reuse the head bolts.
Get ARP headstuds, part no. ARP 208-4306 for b16/b20.
Main bolts shouldnt need to be changed unless you wanna run a girdle.

Depends on what the intended use is.

nothing wrong with reusing standard head bolts on a normal head gasket change.

the one on the right looks to be a B16A oil pump, the left might be B18C.
