ARP Head Stud Kit, BMW B58 & S58

DescriptionWhen pushing your B58 or S58 engine past stock power levels, OEM head bolts become a weak point. Head lift, gasket failure, and inconsistent torque can ruin an otherwise solid build.

Ideal for bolt-on and mid-level builds.Custom Age 625 – Rated to 260 ksi tensile strength. Designed for aggressive setups targeting 800 WHP.Oversized Custom Age 625 Kit – Our most robust solution, combining ARP’s strongest stud material with oversized insert washers for ultra-high boost builds.
