Why ARP Studs Matter:
Head bolts stretch. Studs don’t. Using ARP studs not only ensures proper torque retention over time but also reduces the risk of blown gaskets on high-mileage or high-heat engines. Don't get fooled by budget bolt kits — use the hardware trusted by pros.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do I need to machine the heads before using this kit?
A: We strongly recommend checking for flatness and machining if warped. These engines are prone to overheating.
Q: What makes Elring gaskets better?
A: Elring is an OE supplier known for quality and proper sealing — their composite gaskets are ideal for Rover aluminum blocks.
Q: Can I reuse ARP studs later?
A: Yes — unlike torque-to-yield bolts, ARP studs are reusable if torqued and maintained properly.
Q: Is this everything I need for a head job?
A: Yes — gaskets, seals, studs. You’ll just need fluids and any machine work if required.
