ARP Head Stud Kit for Ford Power Stroke Diesel

The ARP head stud kit for Ford Power Stroke diesel engines is a high-strength cylinder head fastener upgrade. It replaces factory torque-to-yield head bolts with precision-made studs. The studs help maintain consistent clamping load on the cylinder head and head gasket in stock, towing and high-boost performance builds. Also known as cylinder head studs or head bolt upgrade kits.

Key Features:

• Engineered to provide higher clamping force and more even gasket loading than factory head bolts
• Manufactured from premium alloy steel for strength and durability under high cylinder pressure
• Rolled threads for improved fatigue resistance and thread strength
• Reusable studs let you remove and reinstall the cylinder head without replacing the fasteners
• Studs thread into the block, so the head is installed without the twisting forces that bolts put on the gasket surface
• Hardened washers and nuts included for accurate torque readings and proper load distribution
• Made in the USA to ARP's quality standards

These studs suit diesel owners who want reliable head gasket sealing. That includes people who tow heavy loads, run increased boost or add horsepower. Follow ARP's included installation instructions and lubricant recommendations for proper torque and preload. Each variant in this product line is built to the same ARP quality and performance standards.
