Our new ZZP race head studs for the LF3/LF4 engine were specifically designed with a larger center shank to provide better longevity and the ability to make high horsepower more reliably.
The stock head bolts are torque to yield and should not be re-used. Whether you're building a long block, changing head gaskets, or just want to reinforce for more boost these head studs are exactly what you'll need. Our ZZP studs can be re-used and include everything necessary for installation.
ZZP race head stud = 11mm
Original ZZP head stud = 10.24mm
