ARP 250-4201 Head Stud Kit | 1994–2003 7.3L Powerstroke | ARP2000
Protect your 7.3 Powerstroke from blown head gaskets with the industry-leading ARP 250-4201 Head Stud Kit. Designed specifically for the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke diesel (1994–2003), these heavy-duty head studs replace the factory head bolts with dramatically superior clamping force, keeping cylinder heads securely seated under high boost, heavy towing, or high-performance conditions.
Manufactured in ARP’s Santa Paula, California facility from proprietary ARP 2000 alloy, each stud is heat-treated and features threads rolled after heat treatment for exceptional fatigue strength. With a tensile strength of 220,000 psi, these studs deliver the clamping force needed to prevent head lift and gasket failure in truck and RV applications.
The complete Pro Series kit includes 36 ARP 2000 head studs, 36 high-strength 12-point nuts, and 36 parallel-ground hardened washers for even load distribution and accurate torque readings. Studs are centerless ground for perfect concentricity and broached on the ends (5mm Allen) for easy installation and removal—even in tight engine bays. A durable black oxide finish provides excellent corrosion resistance.
Trusted by professional diesel engine builders, ARP head studs are the gold standard for reliability on stock, modified, and high-mileage 7.3L Powerstrokes.
Key Features & Benefits
- ARP 2000 material with 220,000 psi tensile strength
- Threads rolled after heat treatment (up to 2000% stronger than conventional threads)
- Prevents head gasket failures in boosted, towed, or heavily worked engines
- Includes 36 studs + 36 12-point nuts + 36 parallel-ground washers
- Broached ends for easy installation/removal (5mm Allen)
- Black oxide finish for corrosion protection
- Made in the USA (Santa Paula, CA)
- ARP stamped on each stud for authenticity
Fitment
1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel
- F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 Super Duty (pickups & chassis cabs)
- 2000–2003 Excursion
- 1996–2003 E-Series Vans (E-250 / E-350)
Always use new head gaskets, thoroughly clean block threads, and torque to ARP specifications using ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant. No major machine work is typically required on factory heads/blocks.
