ARP (Automotive Racing Products) makes the strongest fasteners in motorsport — head studs, main studs, rod bolts, and flexplate bolts used by every Formula 1, NHRA, NASCAR, and championship motorsport program. Aerospace-grade alloys, exact-fit machining.
The ARP 1.8L 16-Valve Head Stud Kit is engineered to provide the ultimate in cylinder head clamping security. If you are building a high-revving or forced-induction 16v Volkswagen engine, standard bolts simply cannot provide the consistent pressure required to keep your head gasket intact. ARP studs deliver the strength and reliability needed for serious performance.
Designed for the iconic VW 1.8L 16v engine, this kit is compatible with a variety of Golf and Jetta models from 1985 to 2006. Whether you are restoring a classic GTI or building a high-output street machine, these studs are the foundation of a reliable engine build. They offer the peace of mind that comes with knowing your head gasket is secured by the best fasteners in the industry. Eliminate the worry of head lift and focus on the drive. For all your high-performance Volkswagen needs, check out the selection at GGCRACING.
