ARP 204-4701 Undercut Head Stud Kit for 1985-2006 Volkswagen Golf (1.8L / 2.0L / 1.8T)

Fits 1985-2006 Volkswagen Golf models (Base, GL, GLS, GT, GTI, and special editions) equipped with 1.8L, 2.0L, or 1.8T engines.

The ARP 204-4701 Undercut Head Stud Kit provides the superior clamping force necessary to prevent cylinder head lifting and head gasket failure. These fasteners are designed to replace factory head bolts, which can stretch or fail under the increased cylinder pressures found in modified or high-mileage engines. The undercut design helps to equalize the stretch of the stud, providing a more consistent load and making the fastener more resilient to the thermal expansion and contraction cycles of the engine block and head.

By using studs rather than bolts, you ensure more accurate torque loading by eliminating the twisting force on the fastener during installation. This kit is a vital upgrade for forced induction builds or anyone seeking maximum engine reliability.
