GM LS 12Pt Head Stud Kit Gen-3 2003 & Earlier

The GM LS 12Pt Head Stud Kit Gen-3 2003 & Earlier from POINT ONE is purpose-built for serious LS engine builders and high-performance enthusiasts who demand reliability under extreme cylinder head pressures. This kit is specifically designed for Gen-3 LS engines produced from 1997 to 2006, making it ideal for classic LS swaps and vintage muscle car restorations.

Head studs are the foundation of any stroker, turbo, or nitrous LS build, replacing factory bolts with hardened fasteners that resist stretch and fatigue during high-boost or high-rpm operation. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, the GM LS 12Pt Head Stud Kit features twelve-point fasteners that provide superior engagement and reduced risk of cam-out compared to six-point alternatives. The studs are precision-machined from premium alloy steel and heat-treated to withstand the crushing pressures of high-compression and supercharged applications.

This kit includes all necessary studs, washers, and nuts required for complete installation, with a total assembled weight of 7.05 lbs. Proper torque sequence is critical to maximizing clamping force and preventing leakage on the track or street. Installation requires professional-grade tools and accurate torque wrench calibration, ensuring that your cylinder head stays clamped securely throughout the powerband.
