But my post was to get a picture of what was actually for sale. I have seen a number of thing described as one thing, turn out to be another thing. A picture would nail it down.

Yea, I completely understand, it's happened to me a few times on here before too. Just wanted to chime in for potential buyers, since many may be unfamiliar with reusing ARP headstuds.

You posted this.
That is incorrect.
Now it is correct that they stretch, however it is incorrect that they can only be used once.
Here is a pic from the OEM Service Manual.
Here is how to check them to see if they need to be replaced.
So who it Right? Honda's Service Manual, or you?
LOL you go ahead and drop a turbo in your car and reuse the stock head studs. The ARP studs are almost always used in conjunction with adding a 2mm or 3mm headgasket, which means someone has went FI. Like I said put 15psi on a set of reused OEM head bolts, I won't.
Honda isn't considering the pressure that is going to be applied.
You're both right - sorta Yeah, when adding boost you should probably get the studs or new head bolts (the stock ones are bolts and not in fact studs). Strat was just saying that your comment that they can only be used once isn't technically right because they could be used a 2nd time - whether that's recommended or not.
