Why Main Studs? 

Main studs are required for maximum loading & reduced wear and tear on the block threads. They assist with main cap alignment, and there is less of a change of main cap walking because the studs remain stationary during cap clamping. These main studs gar exceed clamping forces provided by standard head bolts.

 

INDESTRUCTIBLE TENSILE STRENGTH 

XOTIC 7200 material properties allow for far greater tensile strength compared to 8740 Chromoly steel head studs. Threads are rolled after heat treatment for optimum fatigue strength. Premium quality inspection standards ensure you'll never get a blow head gasket again.

 

OPTIMUM DESIGN

Broached stud ends install & make cylinder head removal easier. Engineered to unleash more performance out of your vehicle. Ample clamping strength prevents cylinder heads from lifting. 

 

ULTRA CLAMPING FORCE

Head studs are designed to retain cylinder seal even with today's extremely high-pressure turbo systems. These studs far exceed clamping forces provided by standard head bolts.

 

NUTS & WASHERS INCLUDED

20x Main Studs, 10x M8 Side Bolts, 30x Nuts, 2x Sockets, 1x Allen wrench, and 1x Fastener Assembly Lubricant included. Black oxide finish protects from wear and tear. Hardened parallel washers allow for uniform load distribution and accurate torque readings. 

 

INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH DRAWN DIAGRAMS

 

All details including torque recommendations are included in the manual for your reference.

    Armature engine builder

    On my first ever full build, on a LM7 block. I haven’t installed yet but the packaging is great, and the shipping is just perfect. I live in alaska and getting free shipping and quick delivery is always an A in my book. Price is good as i try to keep on a decent budget these were just great for the money. Just certain fasteners i have noticed to be very important, these being one of them and i don’t mind spending money for it, I think you’re getting better stuff then ARP to be honest.

    Excellent studs

    I have Xotic studs in my diesel and LS engines, no issues with any of them! Love the product, although they will aggravate the hell out of you until you review the product.

    Best money spent

    I've been building engines now for 15 years. Mostly bbc marine engines. This is my first ls build and my first with any xotic products. I can tell u now this is for sure won't be my last. I have used. CHeap speedmaster and arp products and these are by far the best products on the market.
