ARP 202-4302 Head Studs for Nissan 200SX S13 CA18DET

• Brand: ARP
• Part Number: ARP-202-4302
• Country of Manufacture: United States

The ARP 202-4302 head studs are engineered for the Nissan 200SX S13 CA18DET and are trusted by professional engine builders for high-performance and competition applications. Manufactured from premium grade 8740 alloy and proprietary ARP2000 alloy, these studs offer strength ratings of 190,000 psi and 220,000 psi, respectively. Each stud is individually heat-treated for uniform strength and durability, ensuring superior performance compared to lesser-quality alternatives.

These studs are centerless ground and thread rolled after heat-treatment to exacting tolerances, resulting in precise fitment and optimal alignment of gaskets and cylinder heads. This precision manufacturing process minimizes the risk of head gasket failure and provides consistent, reliable clamping force.

Using studs instead of bolts simplifies engine assembly, especially for engines that require frequent servicing. Studs allow for more accurate and consistent torque loading, as the fastener is not subjected to twisting forces during installation. This leads to even clamping and improved head gasket sealing.

ARP is recognized as a leader in fastener technology, producing hardware for a range of high-performance and motorsport applications. All manufacturing is controlled in-house in the United States to ensure the highest quality standards.
