Hurry Low Stock

If you're diving into a rebuild or just looking to amp up your Porsche 944, this head stud kit is a solid choice. I’ve spent some time with these, and let me tell you, they really make a difference. These studs are made from 8740 chromoly, which is a fancy way of saying they’re tough as nails. You get that peace of mind knowing they can handle the heat and stress of a high-performance engine.

Now, let’s talk details. The fastener style is a stud, which is great for ensuring a snug fit and reliable torque. With a thread size of 12mm x 1.50, you’re looking at a solid grip that doesn’t back down easily. The head style is a 12-point design, which means you get better engagement with your tools—no more stripping the heads when you’re trying to crank down those bolts.

What’s really cool is the black oxide finish. Not only does it look sleek, but it also adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion. Plus, they come with washers, so you won’t have to hunt around for those. Just install and go.

These studs are specifically designed for the Porsche 944 models from 1983 to 1989, covering both the 2.5L and 3.0L SOHC/DOHC engines. It’s a perfect fit, so you won’t have to worry about cutting or modifying anything. Just get them in there and enjoy the ride!

In short, if you’re serious about your Porsche and want a reliable head stud kit, this is it. It’s built to last and designed for performance, making it a no-brainer for anyone looking to take their 944 to the next level.

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.
