Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your small block Chevy, especially a Rodeck aluminum block with 18-degree cylinder heads, a strong head stud kit is crucial. This ARP kit uses 12-point nuts for a secure and reliable hold, ensuring your cylinder heads stay sealed under pressure.

ARP is well-known for making solid engine components, and this head stud kit is no exception. They're made from high-grade alloy steel and black oxide finished to resist corrosion. The studs are rated for 180,000 psi tensile strength, which is significantly stronger than stock head bolts. This means they can handle the increased clamping force needed for high-performance builds without stretching or failing. The kit includes the necessary studs, nuts, and washers, all designed to fit right on your Rodeck aluminum block and 18-degree heads.

When installing, make sure to follow ARP's recommended torque-to-yield procedure and use their thread sealer on the block threads to prevent leaks. This kit is a popular choice for serious engine builders looking for dependable clamping force.
