ARP Main Engine Studs – Ultimate Strength for Bottom-End Security
ARP main engine studs are engineered to provide superior clamping force and bottom-end stability in both stock and high-performance applications. Whether you’re upgrading a street engine, building a turbocharged powerhouse, or assembling a full-blown race motor, ARP studs deliver unmatched strength and reliability.
Why Choose ARP Main Studs?
The factory main bolts are often insufficient for engines running high boost, high compression, or elevated RPMs. ARP main studs ensure consistent preload and prevent main cap walk or shifting under extreme stress, making them essential for serious performance builds.
- Superior Clamping Force – Keeps main caps secure under extreme loads.
- Unmatched Strength – Manufactured from high-grade ARP2000, L19, or Custom Age 625+ materials.
- Enhanced Reliability – Eliminates cap movement, maintaining crankshaft stability at high RPM.
- Motorsport Proven – Trusted by top engine builders worldwide.
Applications of ARP Main Engine Studs
- High-horsepower turbocharged and supercharged builds
- High-compression naturally aspirated engines
- Motorsport engines for drag, drift, and endurance racing
- OEM rebuilds requiring stronger and more reliable fasteners
Types of ARP Main Stud Kits
- Standard ARP Main Studs – Perfect for street builds and mild performance upgrades.
- ARP2000 Main Stud Kits – Ideal for boosted applications and higher RPM ranges.
- L19 Main Studs – Extreme tensile strength for big boost and nitrous-powered engines.
- Custom Age 625+ Studs – The ultimate solution for maximum reliability in competitive motorsport environments.
Benefits of ARP Main Engine Studs
- Prevents main cap shifting and crank misalignment
