ARP 144-4003 SBM Head Stud Kit Wedge Magnum 6pt
This ARP 144-4003 SBM Head Stud Kit is for 318-340-360 Wedge engines with W5-W7 heads, as well as 318-360 Magnum engines with factory or Edelbrock Magnum heads.
This set comes complete with 10 long and 10 short studs, hex nuts and hardened washers. Manufactured from 8740 Chromoly Steel, ARP heat-treats these studs in-house to 190,000 psi tensile strength. Thread rolling after heat-treat creates a fastener that has threads 2000% stronger than others!
ARP 144-4003 SBM Head Stud Kit Fits:
- 318-340-360 Wedge engines with W5-W7 heads, as well as 318-360 Magnum engines with factory or Edelbrock Magnum heads
STUDS vs. BOLTS
Virtually every top professional engine builder relies on ARP head studs for their all-out competition powerplants, and for good reason!
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.
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.
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.
