Speedmaster PCE279.1017 Mopar Chrysler Small Block 318 340 360 12-Point Head Stud Kit

The Speedmaster PCE279.1017 head stud kit is engineered for Mopar Chrysler small block 318, 340, and 360 engines, delivering superior clamping force and durability compared to standard head bolts. These precision-manufactured studs provide the reliability needed for high-performance street and racing applications.

Premium Construction:

• Manufactured from aircraft-quality 8740 chromoly steel for exceptional strength
• Cold-forged construction ensures molecular integrity and consistent performance
• Heat-treated prior to thread rolling and precision machining
• Tensile strength rated at 190,000 psi for extreme durability
• 12-point nut design allows for precise torque application in tight spaces

Complete Kit Includes:

• Head studs for complete cylinder head installation
• 12-point nuts for accurate torque readings
• Hardened parallel washers for even load distribution

Head studs offer a significant advantage over traditional bolts by remaining stationary during installation, eliminating the twisting action that can cause inaccurate torque readings and uneven clamping. This makes them ideal for engines subjected to high cylinder pressures, forced induction applications, or frequent cylinder head removal.
