Ford Main Stud Kit - 2.0L Zetec

The Ford Main Stud Kit - 2.0L Zetec from ARP is designed for builders and enthusiasts who require reliability under extreme cylinder pressure. This kit is essential for both stock and modified engines, especially those running elevated boost or nitrous, as it replaces factory bolts to prevent catastrophic block failure during peak combustion events.

Manufactured from premium alloy steel, ARP main studs feature a proprietary thread design that evenly distributes clamping force across the crankshaft journal. The Zetec-specific geometry ensures a precise fit without modification, while the superior tensile strength of the studs maintains preload consistency across thermal cycles and engine revolutions. Each stud is individually packaged with ARP2000 lube to ensure accurate torque-to-yield specifications.

This kit is ideal for street performance, track duty, and forced-induction applications on Ford 2.0L Zetec engines. Installation requires removing the oil pan and crankshaft, making it a logical upgrade during a full engine rebuild or bottom-end refresh. Both professional machine shops and experienced home builders will appreciate the engineering precision and reliability that this kit provides.
