7/16 Stud - 2.235 Short Broached

The ARP 7/16 Stud - 2.235 Short Broached is a precision fastener engineered for high-performance engine builders and automotive enthusiasts who demand reliability under extreme conditions. This stud serves as a critical component in engine assembly, particularly in applications requiring superior clamping force and tensile strength. ARP studs are the industry standard for cylinder head fastening, block preparation, and custom engine builds where factory hardware falls short of performance demands.

Constructed from chromoly steel and finished in black oxide, the 7/16 Stud features a broached design that ensures consistent, accurate fit and eliminates thread stripping concerns common with rolled threads. The 2.235-inch length accommodates standard engine block depths while the 7/16-14 and 7/16-20 thread options provide versatility across different head and block configurations. Broaching technology creates uniform stress distribution along the fastener, critical for maintaining proper clamp load in high-RPM, high-boost, and forced-induction applications. Black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance and reduces galling during installation, essential for repeatability and long-term durability.

Ideal for street machines, race engines, turbo conversions, and supercharged builds, this stud delivers the precision fit and load-holding capability that modified and boosted engines require. Installation requires proper torque sequencing and application of ARP Ultra-Torque or equivalent fastener lubricant to achieve accurate preload. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car, preparing a competition engine, or upgrading a street performance build, ARP studs eliminate doubt and maximize reliability where it matters most. Each stud is individually sold, allowing builders to purchase exactly what their specific application requires.
