If you're diving into the world of small block Chevy builds, you’ve probably heard of ARP. Their head stud kit for Brodix Rodeck aluminum blocks and All Pro heads is a solid choice. Let me tell you, these aren’t just any head studs. They’ve got a few tricks up their sleeve that make them worth considering.

First off, the fastener style here is a stud, which means you get a reliable, sturdy hold on your heads. No need to worry about them backing out under pressure. And while we’re at it, the 12-point head style offers a bit more grip than your standard hex, making it easier to torque down without slipping. Trust me, when you’re cranking those down, you want every bit of torque to count.

Now, the material is where things get really interesting. These studs are crafted from 8740 chromoly steel, which is known for its strength and durability. It’s a tough material that can handle the heat and stress of high-performance engines. Plus, they come with a black oxide finish, which not only looks sleek but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance. So, whether you’re tearing up the track or cruising down back roads, these studs are built to last.

Another nice touch is that washers are included in the kit. It’s those little details that make installation smoother, and you won’t be scrambling to find the right size when you’re ready to put everything together. Just remember, these studs are cut to fit, so you won’t have to mess around with trimming them down.

In short, if you’re serious about your small block Chevy and want to ensure everything stays tight and secure, this ARP head stud kit is definitely worth a look. It’s a solid investment for anyone looking to push their build 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.
