Description
6.0L ARP 150-5801 Crankshaft Main Stud Kit
ARP strongly recommends using main studs instead of bolts for your 6.0L Powerstroke engine for several important reasons. First, studs provide more accurate torque readings because they do not twist into the block. This means all clamping forces act along one axis, resulting in a more consistent and reliable hold. Additionally, studs place less stress on the block threads, which helps extend the engine block’s life. Moreover, studs simplify engine assembly and ensure proper alignment of the main caps every time.
