ARP studs...did I get the complete set?
Just got my head gaskets and studs for my 6.0l. The arp stud set only has the 20 long studs, 20 washers and 20 nuts. I assumed it would come with the smaller studs as well.
Am I missing some of the set or is this standard? The part number is 250-4202.
Most pics that I see advertising the 6.0l kits have the smaller studs, with a total of 34 bolts, nust and washers.

Not that I will ever do this...
But... surely something like ARP branded head studs are a standard high strength bolt that can be purchased from industrial equipment suppliers?
They look to me just like aerospace grade fasteners.

Now you have given me a challenge!
Next time I am overseas, I am going to look for a supplier that can deliver the same or better strength bolts.

Seems like a lot of effort to save money. Talk to the sponsors they are expensive but deals are made.

I am not trying to save money.
Since I have zero intention or need for ARP studs.
Just want a challenge to see if I can find a supplier to undercut their prices by what I believe to be 75 to 90%.

If you are referring to the five 10mm head bolts that secure the top of the cylinder head to the block, yes they are reusable.

If you get them from a sponsor they come out to about $40 bucks for 1 stud, washer, and nut. I agree it is expensive but from what I saw short of high strength aerospace fasteners they are the only game in town. If you could find them cheaper and market them you may be on to something.
