STUDS vs. BOLTS

Studs provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. Using studs ensures easier engine assembly and proper alignment.

The ARP 240-5501 Mopar Main Stud Kit is perfect for that application!

Here’s why: when you use bolts to secure the main, the fastener is actually being “twisted” while it’s being torqued to the proper reading. Accordingly, the bolt is reacting to two different forces simultaneously.

Install a stud in a “relaxed” mode – never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. Always install the stud hand tight! Then, when applying torque to the nut, the stud will stretch only on the vertical axis.
