Very similar or rather identical in design and function to the ARP kits. Studs make head installation a lot easier as the studs align the head and hold the head gasket in place They are twice as strong (190,000 psi steel alloy) as the stock head bolts They clamp much better since the stud is loosely threaded into the block and the clamping torque is generated at the stud-nut interface rather than the block-bolt interface The best reason for using head studs versus conventional head bolts is that cylinder head studs simply provide better and more consistent cylinder head torque loading.

Chris Buresh –
Dislike the fact that they ship with USPS, because Usps gives you an ” updated delivery date” yet its always at least 2 days later. The company was easy to deal with I have no issue with them.

These are not equal to ARP stud kits, but can rank a close second. If you are on a budget and using aluminum cylinder heads, these are a reliable stud kit.
