Default ZVH head bolts, what do you use?

can anyone help, im a bit confused on what headbolts to use on my 1.8 ZVH,

i have been told theres 3 ways of doing it, but which is best?

extra long headbolts

Standard CVH headbolts with thinner washers (but what sixe washer is needed?)

and spot the head down so the bolt sits lower in the head.

so which is best and why?

DON'T BUY FROM BURTON.

They are crap quality and the strech! i have photos to prove it.

Call RacePower Morotsport who sell UNBRAKO bolts which are superior quality

However if i had the money i would buy some specially made head studs
