ARP Bolts ARP Vauxhall/Opel 2.0L 16V Head Stud Kit, 8740 Chromoly, Black Oxide Finish - 209-4701

Alright, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of these ARP head studs. If you’re looking to beef up your Saturn ION or Sky’s engine, you’re in the right place. These bad boys are made from 8740 chromoly, which means they’re tough as nails. Seriously, this material is known for its strength and durability, so you can count on them to hold up under pressure.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “What’s the deal with the fasteners?” Well, these studs use a 12-point head style, which makes it easier to get a solid grip when you’re torquing them down. You won’t have to worry about stripping them out, which is a huge plus when you’re working on an engine build. And yes, they come with washers included, so you’re not hunting around for those little guys when you’re knee-deep in your project.

One thing to note is that these studs are not cut to fit, which means they’re designed to work right out of the box for your specific model years—2004-2007 for the ION and 2007-2009 for the Sky. So, no guesswork here; just install and go!

With these head studs, you’re not just getting a product; you’re investing in the reliability of your engine. Whether you’re pushing for more power or just want peace of mind, these studs will help keep everything locked down tight. If you’re planning on some serious upgrades, these are a solid choice to handle the extra stress.

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.
