ARP Cylinder Head Stud Kit for 1987-2006 Jeep 4.0L Inline 6, 1/2″ (Two Lengths)

ARP 146-4201 head stud kit replaces factory bolts on 1987-2006 Jeep 4.0L inline 6 engines found in Wrangler, Cherokee, Comanche and Grand Cherokee models. These 1/2˝ studs come in two lengths for precise intake and exhaust side fitment. They deliver consistent clamping force to maintain head gasket integrity under high boost or high compression builds.

Key Features

• 8740 Chrome Moly Alloy: Heat-treated to 190,000 PSI tensile strength for durability beyond aircraft-grade steels used in lesser kits.
• Post-Heat-Treat Thread Rolling: Provides 2000% greater fatigue resistance compared to pre-heat-treat threading common in other studs.
• Centerless Ground: Ensures concentricity so cylinder heads and gaskets align perfectly without binding or misalignment.
• Undercut Design: Equalizes stretch across studs for uniform clamping that accounts for head gasket compression and resists gasket blowout.
• Black Oxide Finish: Made in USA with ARP stamp on each stud for verified quality and corrosion resistance.
