Replace your stock head bolts with ARP heavy duty head studs. The stud design helps the head and the block equalize the pressure better thereby creating a much more even and consistent seal. It is recommended to replace the head studs/bolts with a new set if the head bolts are ever loosened due to metal fatique. Reusing an old and possibly warped or stretched head bolts/studs will sacrifice the seal between the head and block and may cause head gasket leak. This is a great an easy upgrade when doing an engine rebuild or building a race motor.
This kit comes with: studs, washers, nuts, and assembly lube.
ARP 8740 Material.
This kit part number is for the VW engine but works for the SR20det. We have also sold this for years since tuners have said this is the correct length studs. ( it was said that the SR20det specific kit had the incorrect length) We have compared the lengths of the current SR20det specific kit (102-4701), and they are the same length. Kit 102-4701 uses a stronger material which explains the higher price.
