ARP Cylinder Head Stud Kit for SB Chevy Dart LS Next 23-bolt
ARP Pro Series cylinder head stud kit 234-4341 fits Small Block Chevy engines with Dart LS Next 23-bolt cylinder heads. These studs secure heads with consistent clamping force to prevent gasket blowouts in high-performance and racing builds. Professional engine builders select ARP for proven durability under extreme boost and RPM.
Key Features
- ARP2000 Alloy: Heat-treated to 220,000 PSI tensile strength for extreme load handling in competition engines
- Black Oxide Finish: Resists corrosion and eases assembly while maintaining precise tolerances
- Centerless Ground: Ensures concentricity so cylinder heads and gaskets align perfectly without binding
- Post-Heat-Treat Thread Rolling: Boosts fatigue strength 2000% over pre-heat-treat threaded studs for longer life
- Undercut Studs: Equalizes stretch across all studs for uniform clamping that compensates for head gasket compression
Product Notes
- Kit includes complete set of studs for one cylinder head pair on Dart LS Next heads
- Made in USA with ARP stamp on each stud to verify authenticity
- Pair with ARP head bolts or main studs for full engine build consistency
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Apply ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant to threads and under heads for accurate torque
- Torque to ARP specifications using angle-torque method and calibrated wrench

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...
