ARP Mitsubishi 2.6L 12pt Head Stud Kit 1983-1989 Starion & Conquest
ARP 207-4202 head stud kit secures cylinder heads on Mitsubishi 2.6L G54B engines in 1983-1989 Starion and Chrysler Conquest models. Stud design maintains clamp load under boost and high rpm to resist head lift and gasket failure. This kit supports street-driven cars and track builds with dependable strength.
Key Features
- ARP 8740 Chromoly Construction: Forged steel studs rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength handle extreme cylinder pressures
- 12-Point Nut Design: Reduces rotation during torquing for accurate preload and consistent clamping force
- Precision-Rolled Threads: Minimizes thread wear on block and provides repeatable torque values over multiple services
- Stud-Style Fasteners: Distributes load evenly to prevent distortion and improve sealing reliability
- Complete Hardware Set: Includes washers, 12pt nuts, and lube instructions for bolt-on installation
Product Notes
- Confirm 2.6L G54B engine prior to purchase for exact match
- Re-torque after 500 miles or initial heat cycles per ARP guidelines
- Packaged to withstand shipping impacts and arrive ready to install
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Clean cylinder block threads thoroughly and apply ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant

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...
