This kit also features ARP 6-point (hex) nuts instead of the typical 12-point nuts.\u003cbr\u003e  Its been long established that ARP fasteners require re-torqueing on a regular basis. In our experience, this could be due to the 12-point fasteners having very little material. The 6-point nuts have must more material to them and are less prone to thermal expansion, providing superior torque retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e U\/C (Undercut) vs Standard shank studs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Undercutting of the stud equalizes the \"stretch\", which makes for a more consistent clamping force; and one that compensates for head gasket compression when the cylinder heads are installed. This helps prevent blown head gaskets, and assures optimum engine sealing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  All ARP's Head Studs are thread rolled after the heat treating process, which vastly improves their fatigue tolerance.
