FAQ
Q: Will ARP 230-4201 fit all 2001–2016 6.6L Duramax engines?
A: Yes. It covers LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML platforms.
Q: Do I need to re-torque after heat cycles?
A: Follow ARP’s instructions for lube, torque values, and any re-torque procedure. Always torque on clean, chase-tapped threads with ARP Ultra-Torque.
Q: When should I choose 230-4202 (625+) instead?
A: For extreme cylinder pressure (big single/compounds, nitrous, high timing), 230-4202 offers higher tensile strength. For tuned/towed street trucks, 230-4201 ARP2000 is the proven go-to.
Q: What gaskets and fasteners pair well with these studs?
A: Use quality multi-layer steel head gaskets and consider ARP main studs (230-5401/230-5402) and the ARP balancer bolt (129-2503) for a complete, reliable build.
