This ARP 154-3601 SBF High Performance cylinder head bolt kit for 289-302 engines comes with a reduced wrenching hex head. This eliminates the need for valve train removal to facilitate cylinder head retorquing. All High Performance Series bolts are 180,000 psi (which is 15% stronger than Grade 8)! Kits come complete with hardened parallel-ground washers. Sold as a set of 20.

ARP 154-3601 SBF Head Bolt Kit Fits:

  • 289-302 with factory heads
  • Edelbrock heads 60259, 60379

Which is better, either cylinder head studs or bolts? The answer depends on the installation. On many street-driven vehicles, master cylinders and other items protrude into the engine compartment. It’s probably necessary to use head bolts so that the cylinder heads can be removed with the engine in the car.

The ARP 154-3601 SBF Head Bolt Kit is perfect for that application!

Studs also provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. Using studs ensures easier engine assembly, and proper alignment of both the cylinder head and gasket.

Here’s why: when you use bolts to secure the head, the fastener is actually being “twisted” while it’s being torqued to the proper reading. Accordingly, the bolt is reacting to two different forces simultaneously.

Install a stud in a “relaxed” mode – never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. Always install the stud hand tight! Then, when applying torque to the nut, the stud will stretch only on the vertical axis.
