ARP Head Stud Kits | Multiple Pontiac Fitments (190-3601)

The ARP Head Stud Kits are high-performance fasteners designed for demanding engine applications. Constructed from chromoly steel and finished with a black oxide coating, these head bolt kits are rated at 180,000 psi, making them 15 percent stronger than standard Grade 8 fasteners. Their robust design ensures reliable clamping force and durability under high-stress conditions, reducing the risk of head gasket failure and maintaining proper cylinder head alignment. The inclusion of washers and the option of reduced wrenching hex head or 12-point head features facilitate easier installation and re-torque procedures, helping to minimize valvetrain removal during maintenance.

These ARP head stud kits are suitable for a variety of Pontiac engines, covering multiple fitments with the product number 190-3601. They are intended for use in high-performance street and racing engines where strength and reliability are critical. Designed as direct replacements for stock fasteners, these studs provide superior clamping force and stability, ensuring optimal sealing and performance. Installation involves bolt-on replacement, making them compatible with existing cylinder head setups, and they are ideal for applications requiring increased head bolt strength for enhanced engine durability and performance.
