Weistec has teamed up with ARP, the leading name in performance engine hardware, to bring you a product that truly stands out. If you're looking to replace your factory head bolts, our head studs are the perfect solution. They securely fasten the heads to the block, ensuring everything stays in place.
The connection between the cylinder heads and the block is quite intricate. Coolant and oil move back and forth between these two components, and the head gasket plays a crucial role in keeping everything separate. It relies on the pressure generated by the head bolts to maintain that separation. Unfortunately, factory head bolts are “torque to yield,” which means they stretch permanently when installed. This can lead to issues, like the stock M156 oil leaks that many have experienced due to a less-than-ideal connection between the cylinder heads and the block.
With an impressive tensile strength of over 260,000 PSI, the Weistec ARP 625+ head studs hold the heads down with significantly greater pressure than the factory head bolts, and they won’t stretch permanently. This means you can count on a more reliable engine performance, free from leaks between the heads and block. Quality head studs are essential for any engine aiming to reach high power levels consistently.
