Engineering details
Small details. A critical job.
Head studs help hold the cylinder head and gasket against the block. The hardware, surface preparation, lubrication, and tightening procedure all contribute to the finished assembly.

A secure starting point.
Head studs help secure the cylinder head and gasket to the engine block. Follow the installation diagram for your application when positioning the studs.
Designed to be worked with.
Broached ends provide an Allen-key interface for fitting and removing the studs. Use the tool size specified in your kit’s installation instructions.
Built through a defined process.
XOTIC 7200 alloy studs feature threads rolled after heat treatment. Follow your kit’s instructions for lubrication, tightening sequence, and torque requirements.
