ARP Cylinder Head Studs for BMC A Series, 11 Studs, 12-pt Nuts - Fits 1959-2000 Mini, Sprite, Midget

ARP 206-4204 cylinder head studs secure cylinder heads on BMC A-Series engines found in classic Minis, Austin Healey Sprites, and MG Midgets. This kit includes 11 studs with 12-point nuts made from 8740 Chrome Moly alloy for consistent clamping force under high-performance conditions. Professional engine builders choose these studs for their strength in competition applications from 1959-2000 models.

Key Features

  • 8740 Chrome Moly Construction: Heat-treated to 190,000 PSI tensile strength with full penetration for durability in high-stress racing environments
  • Post-Heat-Treat Thread Rolling: Delivers 2000% higher fatigue strength compared to pre-heat-treat threading for long-term reliability
  • Centerless Ground Studs: Ensures concentricity so cylinder heads and gaskets align perfectly without binding
  • Undercut Design on Shorter Studs: Equalizes stretch across all studs for uniform clamping and resistance to head gasket failure
  • Black Oxide Finish: Provides corrosion protection with 12-point nuts for precise wrench engagement

Product Notes

  • Studs stamped with ARP logo confirm authenticity and quality control
  • Apply ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant during installation for accurate torque values
  • Packaged in protective sleeves. weighs 1.1 lbs with box dimensions 6 x 4 x 1 inches

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Torque to ARP specifications using calibrated torque wrench and moly-based lubricant
  • Compatible with stock BMC A-Series heads, performance ported heads, and copper head gaskets

ARP

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

ARP Head Studs

ARP Head Studs

ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...
