Cylinder head studs are about creating the most consistent cylinder/head platform [stability] no matter what the intended use.
Supertec is a good choice for those interested in improved design features.
Precision ground, heat treated, rolled threads
Quality corrosion resistant aged 17-4PH steel
Better expansion rate than stock steel
More consistent clamping force than nonsensical Dilivar
Fine thread for more precise torque and force retention
Highest quality (12.9), 12 point serrated flange nut [allowing nut to spark plug clearance when twin plugging]
Ground and hardened washers
Additional threads at case end for more engagement [important for non-inserted mag cases]
Longer over all length for custom rod length applications
Ease of engine assembly
No need for height adjustment
Piston can be installed without the stud interference.
Price includes studs, nuts and washers. No need to reuse the ridiculous Porsche Allen head nut.
