Complete ARP Head Stud Kit for Aggressive 6.6L Duramax Builds

For way too long, head studs have been a weak point of 6.6L Duramax engines, often leading to head lift even in basic performance scenarios. If you're building your truck out for superior off-road performance or towing, it's crucial to upgrade those head studs before they cause more problems. Fortunately, ARP has designed these Pro Series Head Studs to handle the craziest and most extreme custom builds, even under intense levels of boost pressure. As direct replacement, this head stud kit will ensure your truck's heads are securely locked down. These studs are ready to tackle any challenge you throw at them without compromise.

Heavy Duty Construction & Installation Info

ARP Duramax Head Studs are made from ARP's proprietary 2000 material, boasting an impressive 220,000 PSI tensile strength. These studs feature exceptionally strong threads that are rolled after heat treatment for ultimate fatigue resistance. Additionally, this kit includes heat-treated chromoly steel 12-point nuts and parallel ground washers, all finished with a durable black oxide coating. This combination ensures ample clamping force. Installation is straightforward, thanks to broached ends and 0.5 oz of ARP assembly lubricant to make the mounting and removal process that much easier.
