ARP Head Stud Kit 5.698-Inch Length

The ARP 208-4305 Head Stud Kit is engineered for high-performance applications on Honda Civic models from 1996 to 2000 equipped with D16Y7 or D16Y8 SOHC non-VTEC engines. This kit provides the necessary components to ensure reliable and precise cylinder head clamping, crucial for engine integrity under demanding conditions. This kit includes ten head studs, each measuring 5.698 inches in length. A key characteristic of this kit is that all ten studs are of equal length, designed specifically for the non-VTEC D16Y7 or Y8 cylinder heads. It is important to note that this kit is not compatible with VTEC D16Z6 heads, which require a different stud configuration. The studs are constructed from ARP's high-performance 8740 series material. ARP emphasizes that their studs are cold-forged for molecular integrity and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining. This process results in significantly improved fatigue strength compared to studs that are threaded after heat treatment.
