Head Stud Kit - 6pt BBC Dart Block w/Dart Heads

The Head Stud Kit - 6pt BBC Dart Block w/Dart Heads from ARP is essential for any serious high-performance big-block Chevy build. This kit is designed specifically for Dart's precision-ported BBC blocks paired with Dart cylinder heads, ensuring an exact fit and optimal clamping load distribution. Head studs are crucial for securely fastening the cylinder head to the block, especially in high-stress applications.

Manufactured from premium alloy steel, ARP's 6-point studs feature a proprietary thread design that resists loosening under extreme thermal cycling and vibration. The 6-point head geometry enhances load distribution across a larger contact area compared to standard fasteners, significantly reducing the risk of head lift, gasket failure, and coolant leaks during high-boost conditions. Each stud is individually packaged and comes with the necessary washers and nuts for installation.

This head stud kit is ideal for high-performance, boosted, and competition engines, making it a non-negotiable component for those looking to exceed stock power levels. Installation requires the removal of the cylinder head, ensuring a proper fit and torque sequencing to ARP's specifications. Whether you're building a street/strip big-block Chevy or a dedicated drag engine, this kit provides the reliability needed for long-term performance.
