Product Description
ARP 247-4207 HEAD STUD KIT – CUSTOM AGE 625+ FOR 3.9L CUMMINS 4BT delivers extreme clamping force and reliability for hard-working 4BT and 4BTA 8-valve builds. Manufactured in the USA from ARP’s Custom Age 625+ alloy and rated to a massive 260,000 psi minimum tensile strength, this kit is engineered to keep your head gasket sealed under big boost, compounds, nitrous, and heavy tow duty. Expect precise fitment, broached ends for easy installation, premium 12-point nuts, and hardened washers—everything you need to button up a leak-free top end that stays torqued and true.

FAQ
Q: Why choose the Custom Age 625+ series over standard studs?
A: 625+ provides substantially higher tensile strength (approx. 260 ksi) and superior fatigue resistance for high-boost and competition builds.
Q: Do these studs help prevent head gasket failure?
A: Yes—higher clamp load and better material stability help minimize head lift and maintain gasket seal under extreme cylinder pressures.
Q: Are special tools required?
A: Typical hand tools plus sockets for the 12-point nuts; broached ends aid installation. Follow ARP torque specs and sequence for best results.
Q: Is there a CARB EO or emissions compliance code?
A: Not required—fasteners do not modify emissions controls.
