Kit comes with: ---(10) head studs ---(10) parallel ground washers ---(10) 12-point nuts needed for a direct bolt on ---ARP moly-lube ---instruction sheet ARP recommends studs are over bolts because of the ability to obtain a more accurate torque reading studs provide over bolts. Studs don't twist as they are fastened down. Additionally, because of this there is less force exerted on the thread of the block, which results in increased block life, especially on aluminum blocks. Replace your stock head bolts with ARP heavy duty head studs. The stud design helps the head and the block equalize the pressure better thereby creating a much more even and consistent seal. It is recommended to replace the head studs/bolts with a new set if the head bolts are ever loosened due to metal fatigue.
