Details

Performance engine builders know that head studs are superior to bolts, and this is especially the case on Flathead Ford and Mercury V8s. Flathead decks are thin and their threads are easily stripped. By installing studs, you avoid damaging the threads in the block through repeated use. The combination of the studs fine outer threads and hardened washers also prevents galling and ensures accurate torque readings, particularly on aluminum heads.

  • Studs utilize superior "pull down torque"
  • Properly fastens and torques both aluminum and iron heads

Overall Assessment

The product, a stud kit, enjoys a high satisfaction rate, with customers praising its usability, quality, and practicality. Successfully used in various engine types such as the 1940 59A Flathead and 1950 Ford V-8, it's favorably compared to bolts for the convenience it provides during installation. Customers who've shopped with us for over 25 years continue to find these stud kits high in quality and fitment, attesting to their durability and material quality. Some users even claim it to be essential for aftermarket cylinder head installation. Despite a couple of complaints about disappointments in stud length and finish, overall, the stud kit is touted as a cost-effective, ideal replacement for original bolts with superior performance and reliability.

excellent product

great product easy to fit and arrived in quick time. use 2 nuts to lock on stud and then wind them into the block secure, worth using stub lock to hold them tight

VERY upset!!!

I WASTED several hours installing these studs, only to find out many of the studs are TOO SHORT!!! The product description says they will work with both Edelbrock and Offy alum heads...however they do NOT work with Edelbrock 1116 (74 cc) heads. I spent too much time and MONEY on this build to have these hassles! Now I will probably destroy a $120 headgasket (which has been painted already) removing it. I sure hope Speedway will replace them free of charge...seeing how I've spent almost $3000 with them if not more by now.

Tried 2 sets of these and both sets, 42 of the 48 studs were poorly machined to the point the nuts jambed almost instantly when trying to run the nuts on. Set them back and tried the Offenhouser stud kit, it was the same way, poor machining.
