The ARP 234-4345 head stud kit is precision-engineered for 2004 and later Small Block Chevy LS engines. These high-performance head studs provide significantly improved clamping force over factory head bolts, ensuring reliable head gasket sealing in high-performance and forced induction applications.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from premium 8740 chromoly steel for exceptional strength and durability
• Heat-treated to 200,000 PSI tensile strength for maximum clamping force
• Precision-rolled threads after heat treatment to prevent fatigue failure
• Includes hardened parallel-ground washers for even load distribution
• Complete kit with ARP Ultra-Torque assembly lubricant

• Designed specifically for 2004 and later LS engine platforms

ARP head studs are the preferred choice of engine builders and racers worldwide. The stud design allows for more accurate and consistent torque loading compared to head bolts, while providing superior clamping force that stays consistent even under extreme cylinder pressures. Perfect for naturally aspirated performance builds, turbocharged applications, or supercharged engines where head gasket integrity is critical.
