Re:Head Studs for a d16z6
My boss from my old job used to use ARP's head stud kit's for VW's (old 8 valve ones i think) for the Honda D-series. Supposedly they're the same length and thread pitch. Can't say for sure, but something for you to check into anyway

I got my ARP studs from lightning motorsports. Best price I found: $89

d16a6 head uses same size as Z6. Block doesn't matter. Y8 uses a different size.
I torqued mine down to 60ft lbs.

Oh and your head is not lifting, so don't think the ARP head studs will help you. Your blowing head gaskets because the sleeves are walking/shifting under heavy load. You will need to back yout timing down to fix the problem... it's all about timing.
Here is a good thread to read with more info.

Re: Head Studs for a d16z6
I was under the impression that you use the studs for the block, not the head. I just bought a set of d16Z headstuds. I am using a Z6 block with a Y5 head.

also if u use y8 honda studs you may pop the threads of the top left bolt hole because of the step on the z6 head, it just grabs on a few threads and with enough torque it rips what ever the bolt was holding onto out of the hole, so be very careful
