$287.45

If you're diving into a head stud upgrade for your Ford Probe, Mazda 626, or MX-6, you might want to check out this ARP head stud kit. Seriously, these aren't just any ordinary fasteners; they’re built for performance. The studs are made from ARP2000 material, which is known for its strength and reliability. Trust me, when you’re pushing your engine to its limits, you want something that can handle the heat—literally.

Now, let’s talk about the details. The fastener style here is a stud, which is a solid choice for ensuring a secure fit. Plus, they come with an undercut design, allowing for better clamping force. If you’ve ever had to deal with head gasket issues, you know how crucial that is. The head style is a 12-point design, making it easier to torque down properly without stripping. And don’t worry about rust or corrosion; these studs come with a black oxide finish that not only looks good but also adds a layer of protection.

Oh, and they include washers, which is a nice touch. It’s those little details that can make a big difference when you’re putting everything back together. Just a heads-up, these studs are cut to fit, so you won’t have to worry about any modifications. They’re designed specifically for the 1993-1997 Ford Probe, 1994-1997 Mazda 626, and 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6 with the 2.5L KL Series V6 engine.

In short, if you're looking to boost your engine's performance and reliability, this ARP head stud kit is a smart investment. You’ll appreciate the quality when you’re out on the road or track, knowing your setup is solid.

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.
