Product Description
The ARP 247-4205 Head Stud Set 625 Series is the premium fastener upgrade for 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins 12V engines that demand maximum head gasket sealing under extreme cylinder pressure. Built from Custom Age 625+ material, this kit is designed for high-boost, high-horsepower, towing, sled pulling, drag racing, and competition diesel applications.
Compared to standard head bolts or conventional stud kits, ARP 625 Series head studs deliver increased tensile strength, improved fatigue resistance, and more consistent clamping force. For serious P7100-equipped 12-valve Cummins builds, ARP 247-4205 is one of the strongest head stud options available.
