ARP 134-3703 SBC Head Bolt Kit
This ARP 134-3703 SBC Gen III High Performance cylinder head bolt kit comes with a reduced wrenching 12 point head. This eliminates the need for valve train removal to facilitate cylinder head retorquing. These High Performance Series bolts are 190,000 psi (which is 15% stronger than Grade 8)! Kits come complete with hardened parallel-ground washers. Sold as a set of 30.
ARP 134-3703 SBC Head Bolt Kit Features:
- Fits Gen III Vortec/Truck, 23 Cast Iron OEM, most Edelbrock, LT-AFR,Brodix-8,-10,-11,-11xb, LT-1, Dart Pro-1, Trick Flow Heads & most World Products heads (black oxide inner rows & stainless steel outer rows)
- Two Lengths
- 12 Point Head
- 8740 - 190,000 PSI
Which is better, cylinder head studs or bolts? The answer depends on the installation. On many street-driven vehicles, master cylinders and other items protrude into the engine compartment. It’s probably necessary to use head bolts so the cylinder heads can be removed with the engine in the car.
The ARP 134-3703 SBC Head Bolt Kit is perfect for that application!
Studs also provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. Using studs ensures easier engine assembly, and proper alignment of both the cylinder head and gasket.
Here’s why: when you use bolts to secure the head, the fastener is actually being “twisted” while it’s being torqued to the proper reading. Accordingly, the bolt is reacting to two different forces simultaneously.
Install a stud in a “relaxed” mode – never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. Always install the stud hand tight! Then, when applying torque to the nut, the stud will stretch only on the vertical axis.
Remember, an undercut shorter stud will have a rate similar to a longer, standard shank stud. This provides a more even clamping force on the head. Because the head gasket may compress, check with your gasket manufacturer for retorquing requirements.
