Pro Series Chevy Small Block Cylinder Head 12-Point Stud Kit

• Fits Gen I Small Block Chevy Engines: Designed for Chevrolet Small Block V8 cylinder head applications.

• 190,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Heat-treated 35 chromoly steel construction.

• 12-Point Stud Design: Provides secure installation and accurate torque readings.

• Supports Reliable Head Gasket Sealing: Helps maintain consistent cylinder head clamping force.

This 12-point stud kit is manufactured from heat-treated 35 chromoly steel with a minimum tensile strength of 190,000 PSI, providing consistent clamping force and reliable head gasket sealing for Chevrolet Gen I Small Block V8 engines. Stud-style fasteners help guide the cylinder head into position during installation, making assembly more precise than traditional head bolts.

It's designed for Gen I Small Block Chevy engines — 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, and 400 in³ — including common 383 and 406 stroker builds. Threads are rolled after heat treatment and finished with a black oxide coating and oil coating for corrosion resistance.

Applications
Fits Chevrolet Gen I Small Block V8 engines (1955–1995): 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, and 400 in³, including 383 and 406 stroker combinations.

Installation
Threads are rolled after heat treatment and tested for tensile and yield strength. Torque in three steps: 25 ft-lbs, then 50 ft-lbs, then 75 ft-lbs. Verify cylinder head style and fastener requirements before ordering.

What does this head stud kit fit?
This kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen I Small Block V8 engines, including 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, and 400 applications.

What are the advantages of head studs over head bolts?
Head studs can provide more consistent clamping force, improved cylinder head alignment during installation, and enhanced head gasket retention compared to conventional head bolts.

Why upgrade to Small Block Chevy head studs?
SBC head studs are commonly used in engine rebuilds, performance applications, marine engines, and higher-compression combinations where maintaining cylinder head clamping force is critical.

Are these suitable for performance applications?
Yes. The studs are manufactured from heat-treated 35 chromoly steel with a minimum tensile strength of 190,000 PSI for demanding street, marine, and racing use.

What material are the studs made from?
The kit is manufactured from 35 chromoly steel and features rolled threads, a black oxide finish, and corrosion-resistant oil coating.

Can these be used with aftermarket cylinder heads?
Yes, provided the cylinder heads utilize compatible Small Block Chevy fastener requirements. Always verify application-specific compatibility before installation.

Does this kit help support head gasket sealing?
Yes. Proper cylinder head clamping force helps maintain reliable head gasket retention and cylinder pressure control.

Can these be used during a complete engine rebuild?
Yes. This SBC head stud kit is ideal for engine rebuilds, cylinder head service, head gasket replacement, and performance engine assembly projects.
