ARP Cylinder Head Studs for 2010-2018 BMW S1000RR Motorcycle 12-pt Nuts
ARP cylinder head studs kit 201-4306 upgrades the fastening system on 2010-2018 BMW S1000RR motorcycles with high-strength studs and 12-pt nuts. These components secure cylinder heads with consistent clamping force to handle high-compression builds and track abuse. Engine builders choose them for precise fit and fatigue resistance in demanding conditions.
Key Features
- Custom Age 625+ Material: Heat-treated to 260,000 PSI tensile strength for reliable head gasket sealing under extreme cylinder pressures
- Black Oxide Finish: Resists corrosion and eases installation while maintaining fastener integrity over time
- Thread Rolled After Heat-Treat: Increases fatigue strength by 2000% compared to pre-heat-treat threading for longer service life
- Centerless Ground Studs: Ensures concentricity and straightness so heads and gaskets align perfectly without binding
- Undercut Design on Short Studs: Equalizes stretch across all studs for uniform clamping and reduced gasket blowout risk

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 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...
