Key Features:

Built with precision and quality in mind, the ARP Main Stud Kit includes:

• Studs made from 8740 chromoly steel for exceptional strength
• Heat-treated in-house to a tensile strength of 190,000 PSI
• Precision J-form threads rolled after heat treatment for superior thread strength

Construction & Design:

The ARP main studs are crafted from premium 8740 chromoly steel, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. Each stud undergoes a rigorous heat treatment process in ARP’s own facility, achieving a tensile strength rating of 190,000 PSI. This ensures the studs can withstand the extreme forces generated within high-performance or heavily modified engines.

The unique J-form thread design is rolled after heat treatment, which results in threads that are significantly stronger than those produced by traditional cutting methods. This precision manufacturing process enhances thread engagement and reduces the risk of thread failure, a common issue in high-stress engine applications.

The kit includes all necessary hardware and assembly lubricant to ensure proper torque and secure fastening. This upgrade is recommended during engine rebuilds or whenever main cap studs need replacement to maintain engine block integrity and performance.
