Product Description

The ARP 230-4201 Head Stud Kit is purpose-built for the GM 6.6 L Duramax engines (LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML) used from 2001 to 2016. This kit replaces OEM torque-to-yield head bolts with premium ARP2000® alloy studs, offering dramatically higher clamp force and reliability - especially critical in high-boost or heavy-duty diesel applications.

Engineered for longevity, each stud is cold-forged and heat-treated before precision centerless grinding and thread rolling. Broached ends facilitate head removal in tight clearances, while black oxide coating and shot-peening enhance durability. Complete with ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant, hardened washers, and nuts, this kit ensures consistent torque accuracy and superior sealing under extreme pressure.

For performance builds, towing, or high-stress engine operations where head gasket integrity is paramount, the ARP 230-4201 Head Stud Kit delivers industry-leading strength and peace of mind.
