Boosting Engine Reliability: The Power of ARP Head Studs

Boosting Engine Reliability: The Power of ARP Head Studs

When it comes to enhancing the performance and reliability of your engine, every detail counts. One crucial detail often overlooked is the choice between bolts and studs for securing cylinder heads.

At Moultrie Motor Company, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure that your engine can handle high boost levels with confidence. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of ARP Head Studs and why they are a game-changer for your engine's reliability.

Bolts vs. Studs: The Strength Comparison

The debate between bolts and studs has a clear winner—studs. Why? Studs allow for more accurate torque measurements because they do not rotate when tightened. This feature makes them significantly stronger than bolts, which can twist during tightening. This twisting can lead to uneven clamping forces and, ultimately, reduced reliability.

Factory Bolts: A Potential Weak Link

Factory-built engines often rely on bolts to secure cylinder heads to the block. While this may seem sufficient for many applications, there's a catch. Under high heat and pressure, these bolts can stretch over time. When this happens, it can result in a compromised head gasket, water intrusion into the cylinder, and the need for a costly engine rebuild. In other words, it's a recipe for a blown engine, and no car enthusiast wants to experience that.
