ARP SB Chevy w/Pontiac Brodix Raised Head, Head Stud Kit

If you're rebuilding the top end of your small block Chevy engine, especially one fitted with Pontiac Brodix raised cylinder heads, a quality head stud kit is crucial for proper sealing. This kit from ARP uses heat-treated alloy steel studs that are rolled after heat-treat to ensure they are stronger and more durable than conventional cut-threaded studs. The threads are also rolled, which creates a stronger thread form and helps prevent galling during installation and removal.

ARP studs offer a significant advantage over stock head bolts. They provide a more consistent clamping force, which is essential for preventing head gasket leaks, especially in high-performance applications. The kit includes hardened parallel washers and 12-point nuts, making installation straightforward. The studs themselves are black oxide finished for corrosion resistance. This kit is designed to fit specific Brodix raised head applications, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance.
