If you're diving into a project with your Hemi, you know every little detail counts. That’s where the ARP KB Hemi Valve Cover Stud Kit comes in. This isn't just any set of fasteners; it’s a solid upgrade that can really make a difference in your build.
First off, let’s talk about the valve cover fastener style. These studs are designed to hold your valve covers down securely, which is crucial when you're pushing your engine to its limits. The black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also provides some added corrosion resistance, so you don’t have to worry about rust creeping in over time.
Now, the material is where things get interesting. These fasteners are made from chromoly, which is known for its strength and durability. You want something that can handle the heat and pressure of a high-performance engine, and chromoly delivers. Plus, the standard 12-point nut style means you’ll have a solid grip when you’re tightening everything down—no stripped heads here.
In terms of size, the thread size is 1/4-20 inches, with a thread length of 2.450 inches. That’s just the right fit for most setups, ensuring a tight seal that won’t let oil escape. And yes, you’ll get washers included in the kit, which is a nice touch to help distribute the load evenly and protect the surface of your valve covers.
One thing to note is that this kit doesn’t come with hold-down tabs, but honestly, if you’re using these studs, you likely know what you’re doing and can make it work without them. It’s all about getting the right combination for your specific setup.
In short, if you’re looking to add some reliability and a touch of performance to your Hemi, this ARP kit is a solid choice. It’s built to last and designed for those who take their engines seriously.

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.
