When upgrading your engine for high-performance racing, ARP Head Studs are an essential component to ensure reliability and durability under extreme conditions. These studs are engineered to surpass the limitations of factory fasteners, providing the robust solution needed for engines operating beyond their original design parameters.

Key Advantages:

• Superior Strength: ARP Head Studs are crafted from 8740 chrome moly steel, offering exceptional strength over factory bolts.
• Advanced Heat Treatment: Each stud is heat-treated to 200,000 psi, significantly enhancing its resilience and longevity.
• Optimized Thread Design: Thread rolling post heat-treatment ensures vastly improved fatigue tolerance, a key factor in racing environments.
• Precision Engineering: High-quality, parallel ground washers ensure perfect alignment, facilitating smoother installation and optimal gasket placement.

Essential for Performance Engines:

• Beyond Factory Specs: Factory fasteners are not designed for the high revs, heat, and power of race cars. ARP Head Studs fill this critical gap.
• Reusable and Reliable: Unlike factory bolts that stretch and degrade, ARP's solution offers consistent clamping force and can be reused, vital for engines undergoing frequent modifications.

Specific Use Case:

• Not for STOCK B20 Engines: This kit is designed for engines with VTEC head conversions. For stock B20 engines, refer to ARP 208-4302.

Why ARP Head Studs?

• Preventing Engine Failures: Head lifting and blown gaskets can be disastrous. These studs are an affordable yet crucial investment in your engine's integrity.
• Rigorous Standards: Manufactured under exact tolerances, these studs ensure that your engine components fit flawlessly, reducing the risk of failure.

Consider ARP Head Studs a fundamental component of your race engine build. Their robust design and proven reliability under harsh conditions make them an indispensable upgrade for any serious racer or performance enthusiast.
