Description

Head studs are the foundation of reliable cylinder head clamping, and ARP’s chromoly construction provides superior clamping force consistency compared to standard bolts—critical for both street and competition engines running elevated boost or compression. This 12-point kit delivers the repeatability and durability serious builders demand, whether you’re securing an OEM or aftermarket head on your Small Block Chevy.

ARP’s chromoly studs resist stress relaxation and fatigue, ensuring your head stays sealed through heat cycles and sustained high-RPM operation. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance while the 12-point design offers better engagement and reduced fastener stripping during installation and future maintenance.
