The original comparison identifies an M14 × 237 specimen. This material comparison relates to the alloy used in the included head and main studs.

Original method note: ISO 6892-1:2016 or ASTM A370 / ASTM E8/E8M in the US.

Material specification

220–240K PSI

Strength specification

The XOTIC 7200 head and main studs in this bundle have a published tensile-strength range of 220,000–240,000 psi. Tensile strength describes the material under tension; it is not an installed clamping-force or horsepower rating.

View the test documentation

The linked ATRONA report records a 240,000 psi tensile result for a submitted stud tested in May 2020. This result applies to the submitted sample.

Before you begin

A good install starts here.

Open the instructions for the component you are installing. Each linked document covers the named kit; its procedure and torque values apply to that component.

Before you order

Which kits are included?

This bundle contains one CP878 head-stud kit and one MP878 main-stud kit. The included-kit list identifies their hardware and links to each component.

Does it fit my engine?

For 12-valve engines with M14 main-stud threads. Fits early 1997 and older applications within the listed range; not for late-1997 engines using M12 main studs.

Do both kits use the same installation procedure?

No. The head and main assemblies have separate hardware arrangements and tightening procedures. Use each kit’s labeled manual; do not transfer torque values between them.

What warranty applies?

The included fastener kits carry Limited Lifetime Warranty coverage. See the policy for terms.
