Head Studs + Main Studs + Connecting Rod Bolts + Rocker Arms + Valve Covers Combo Kit
Upgrade your engine build with a complete, purpose-matched system designed to reinforce every major clamping point from top to bottom. This premium combo kit includes head studs, main studs, connecting rod bolts, rocker arms, and valve covers, delivering a true all-in-one solution for strength, fitment, and reliability.
Combining head studs and main studs ensures more consistent clamping force across both the cylinder head and main caps. When paired with high-strength connecting rod bolts, this kit helps address common failure points such as head lift, blown head gaskets, and main cap walk—especially in boosted, high-load, or heavy-towing applications.
Head stud installations often require additional rocker arm clearance due to increased stud height. This kit includes properly milled rocker arms to ensure correct geometry and clearance.
To complete the top-end upgrade, the included valve covers are designed to properly clear the upgraded valvetrain while providing a clean, durable seal and finished engine-bay appearance.
Sourcing these components individually can lead to fitment issues, delays, and unnecessary cost. This combo kit eliminates guesswork by providing matched components that are designed to work together, saving time and money during installation.
Whether you’re boosting, towing, or daily driving, this all-in-one engine fastener and top-end solution delivers confidence, durability, and long-term reliability—everything you need in one box.

Engineering details
Use each included component at its intended joint, with the matching hardware and component-specific assembly procedure.
The milled pedestal relief creates space beside the head-stud position while the shaft supports the rocker arrangement.
Each VC100 perimeter gasket seals a cover to the head; an O-ring seals each mounting bolt opening.
Prepare the mating surfaces and threads, and follow the instructions for each component. Do not apply one torque value or sequence to the entire bundle.
