ARP Small Block Chevrolet 7/16in x 3/8in Stepped Head Stud Kit

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Small Block Chevrolet engine, getting a solid seal on your cylinder heads is critical. This ARP head stud kit is designed to help you achieve that. These studs replace your stock head bolts, offering a more consistent and reliable clamping force to keep your heads sealed tight under pressure.

ARP is well-known for making strong engine components, and this kit is no exception. The studs are made from high-grade alloy steel and feature a stepped design. This means the main body of the stud is 7/16 inch, but it steps down to 3/8 inch where it threads into the block. This unique design helps prevent the stud from pulling out of the block under extreme stress, a common issue with high-performance builds. The kit includes the studs, nuts, and washers needed for installation, all made to ARP's exacting standards for a dependable build.

When installing these studs, remember to clean the threads in your block thoroughly. ARP recommends using their ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Lubricant (sold separately) on the threads and under the nuts to ensure accurate torque readings and prevent galling. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to build a reliable performance engine.
