ARP Cylinder Head Stud Kit for Nissan 2.6L (RB26DETT) Skyline GT-R 1989-2002 Custom Age 625+
The ARP 202-4208 Cylinder Head Stud Kit equips Nissan Skyline GT-R models with the 2.6L RB26DETT inline-6 engine from 1989 to 2002. These studs lock down cylinder heads with consistent clamping force to handle extreme cylinder pressures in tuned and racing setups. Precision manufacturing ensures gaskets seat perfectly for leak-free performance.
Key Features
- Custom Age 625+ Material: Inconel-based alloy provides corrosion resistance and strength for high-heat high-boost applications beyond standard steels.
- Post-Heat-Treat Thread Rolling: Boosts fatigue strength 2000% over pre-heat-treat threading for longer life under repeated stress cycles.
- Centerless Grinding: Creates concentric studs so cylinder heads and gaskets align without binding during assembly.
- Precise Heat Treatment: Vertically racked process achieves uniform 260,000+ psi tensile strength throughout each stud.
- Undercut Design: Equalizes stretch on shorter studs for even clamping that accounts for head gasket compression.
Product Notes
- Torque to ARP specifications using ARP Ultra-Torque assembly lube for accurate preload.
- Inspect threads and clean with ARP thread chaser before installation.
- Packaged in protective ARP box to prevent damage during transit.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Remove factory bolts and clean blind holes thoroughly before installing studs.
- Compatible with multi-layer steel head gaskets and OEM or aftermarket cylinder heads.
