That gets expensive fast if you're pulling the head more than once for diagnosis or a build. ARP's head stud kit swaps those one-time bolts for studs that are designed to be reused.Getting a solid, even cylinder head seal matters most on small-displacement, high-compression, or forced-induction engines like this one, and ARP's studs are built to hold that clamping load reliably over repeated use.Features\u003cbr\u003ePremium grade 8740 alloy, rated well above typical aircraft-quality steel\u003cbr\u003eHeat-treated to 200,000 psi (ARP-rated)\u003cbr\u003eCenterless ground and thread-rolled to Mil-S-8879 specifications\u003cbr\u003eBlack oxide finish\u003cbr\u003eReusable -- unlike factory torque-to-yield head bolts\u003cbr\u003eWhat's IncludedARP Cylinder Head Stud KitProduct Specifications\u003cbr\u003eMPN: 204-4302\u003cbr\u003eApplication: VW and Audi 1.8T\/2.0T FSI and TSI four-cylinder engines (EA113 and EA888 Gen 1-3), spanning MK5-MK7 Golf\/GTI\/R and Audi 8P\/8V\/8J\/8S\/B6-B8\/C7 platforms\u003cbr\u003eFrequently Asked QuestionsCan these studs be reused after the head is removed again?Yes, that's the main advantage over the factory torque-to-yield head bolts, which must be replaced every time they're removed.When would I install this kit?Typically alongside a head gasket or head service, since the head has to come off to install studs in place of the factory bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43589458133040,"sku":"A00M 204-4302","price":227.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/4573\/7776\/files\/ARP-STUD-KIT_1b62bd9f-8c19-4e16-8227-7e318baf8ee3.jpg?v=1788897540","url":"https:\/\/3pedalsbetter.com\/products\/arp-cylinder-head-stud-kit-vw-audi-1-8t-2-0t-fsi-tsi-1","provider":"3Pedals Better","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
