Buying a 94 laser rs turbo

[Blu90GST]

Long story short the guy says the timing belt broke and bent some valves, the 94 has the 7 bolt. I have a 6 bolt sitting in my garage that I could pull the head off of. I also have the 7 bolt head bolts and a head gasket that I could put it all together with. My question is that I read that head studs will work in my case if they're for a 7 bolt. Will my head bolts work also? Does anyone know where I can find the washers that sit in the head where the bolts go through if so?

You could put a 7 bolt head on a 6bolt block but not the other way around. the head studs in your 7bolt are 11mm verses 12mm in a 6bolt.

You could swap out the valves.

You can put a 7 bolt head on a 6 bolt block. I had a 93 7bolt head on a 90 6 bolt block. I had Arp's for a 6 6 bolt. I just drilled out two of the holes in the head for the studs to work.

Never thought about that one. Thanks.

Id send the head to a good machine shop that knows what theyre doing to fix up whichever head you use before installing. Also, factory 7 bolt head bolts are TTY- torque to yield- and by design stretch when torqued down, and are not reuseable, so either get a set of ARPs or get a new set of factory bolts, but I recommend ARP since the price is negligible and its a better setup anyway.
