ARP Bolts ARP BB Ford 6.2L V8 12pt Head Stud Kit Chromoly Black Oxide Finish - 255-4306

If you're diving into some serious engine work on your Ford 6.2L V8, you might want to take a closer look at the 255-4306 ARP BB Ford 6.2L V8 12pt Head Stud Kit. This isn't just another set of head studs; it's a solid upgrade that can make a real difference in your build's reliability and performance.

First off, let's talk about the fastener style. These studs are designed with a stud fastener style, which gives you a secure and consistent clamping force. No more worrying about bolts loosening up after a few hard runs. The 12-point head style allows for better torque application, so you can really get in there and crank down the numbers without stripping anything. And since they’re made from chromoly, you know they’re built to last. Chromoly is tough stuff, perfect for withstanding the high stresses of a performance engine.

Now, the black oxide finish isn’t just for looks. It helps resist corrosion, which is a big deal if you’re pushing your engine hard or if you’re in a humid climate. Plus, these come with washers included, so you’ve got everything you need right out of the box. No extra trips to the hardware store, which is always a win in my book.

And just to clarify, these studs are a direct fit—no cutting or modifications needed. This means you can focus on getting your engine together without the hassle of making adjustments. If you’re serious about your build, these ARP head studs are a smart investment. They’ll help you keep everything tight and right, whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
