3/8 Stud - 3.250 Broached

The ARP 3/8 Stud - 3.250 Broached (Part No. AJ3.250-1B) is a precision fastener designed for high-performance engine builds and critical structural applications where reliability under extreme loads is essential. Engine builders, fabricators, and mechanics trust ARP studs for their ability to withstand thermal cycling, vibration, and sustained pressure.

Manufactured from premium alloy steel, ARP studs undergo rigorous quality control to ensure uniform tensile strength and precise dimensional tolerances. The 3/8-inch diameter provides an optimal balance of clamping force and thread pitch for engine head applications, while the 3.250-inch length accommodates standard block deck heights and head gasket thicknesses common in various engine platforms.

Builders restoring vintage muscle cars, tuning turbocharged four-cylinders, and constructing competition engines rely on the broached design of this stud, which ensures secure nut engagement without galling. This feature reduces installation torque variability and delivers consistent clamp loads, critical for maintaining head gasket compression and preventing leakage under boost or high RPM.
