ARP head bolts

[Cheromaniac]

Not sure on your usage of the engine, but you won't have any problem with standard head bolts on a N/A stroker.

Or even on a supercharged stroker for that matter. You could try Hesco's pricey-looking head stud kit http://www.hesco.us/shop.asp?action=det ... catId=7757
If that's too much money for you, the '86-'96 head bolt kit http://www.hesco.us/shop.asp?action=det ... catId=7735 and the '97-'06 head bolt kit http://www.hesco.us/shop.asp?action=det ... catId=7735 might be more to your liking.

I think the aftermarket stud kits are a waste. I have an aluminum head and was told not to use studs because they do not allow the aluminum head to expand. We have a 14:1 Cr and are using standard torque -to -yeld head bolts. My only recomendation would be to buy a new set every time you remove and replace the head.
