Overview

The ARP Head Stud Kit is a set of 10 Pro Series studs designed for various Audi and Volkswagen 2.0L 20-valve engines. These studs are cold-forged for molecular integrity and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, achieving a tensile strength of 190,000 psi. The kit includes hardened parallel washers for even load distribution and accurate torque readings.
Show original supplier description
The ARP Head Stud Kit is engineered as a direct-fit upgrade for all VW/Audi 2.0T FSI (EA113) and TSI (EA888 Gen 1, 2, & 3) engines, including specific fitments for VW MK5, MK6, MK7, and Audi B7, B8, 8P, 8J, 8V, 8S, C7. These head studs are constructed from premium-grade 8740 alloy steel, heat-treated to 200,000 psi, and then thread-rolled, providing twenty times better fatigue strength compared to studs treated after threading. This ensures your head gasket remains securely in place, even under extreme high-boost conditions. The material's superior rating surpasses many "aircraft quality" competitors. These studs are 100% reusable and are manufactured in the U.S.A., reflecting ARP's commitment to quality and durability in engine fasteners. The kit comes complete with hardened parallel washers, essential for even load distribution and accurate torque readings. Important compatibility note: This kit fits 20-valve engines only.
