- Constructed from premium grade 8740 chromoly alloy, exceeding aircraft quality standards
- Heat-treated to an impressive 220,000 psi tensile strength for maximum durability
- Centerless ground for exceptional straightness and concentricity, ensuring perfect alignment
- Thread-rolled after heat treatment to increase fatigue strength by approximately 1000%
- Precision manufacturing tolerances allow gaskets and cylinder heads to glide into place effortlessly
- Designed specifically for the Scion 2AZ-FE engine to guarantee proper fit and function
- Ideal for high-performance builds, forced induction setups, and extended engine life
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-lasting reliability
Construction & Design:
The ARP 2AZFE Main Stud Kit is manufactured from premium 8740 chromoly alloy, a material known for its superior strength and toughness compared to standard fastener steels. This alloy undergoes a rigorous heat treatment process to achieve a tensile strength of 220,000 psi, ensuring the studs can withstand extreme engine loads without stretching or failing.
Following heat treatment, each stud is centerless ground through multiple precise cuts to achieve near-perfect straightness and concentricity. This meticulous process ensures that the studs align flawlessly with the engine block and main caps, reducing the risk of gasket damage and improving sealing integrity. Additionally, the threads are rolled after heat treatment, significantly enhancing fatigue resistance and longevity compared to studs threaded before heat treatment.
Installation & Fitment:
The ARP 2AZFE Main Stud Kit is a direct fit replacement for the factory main bolts on 2005–2010 Scion tC and 2008–2015 Scion xB2 models equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine. Installation requires standard engine disassembly procedures, including removal of the oil pan and main caps. Due to the precision manufacturing of ARP studs, cylinder heads and gaskets will align smoothly during reassembly, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of misalignment.
It is recommended that installation be performed by a professional or experienced technician familiar with engine internals to ensure proper torque specifications and assembly procedures are followed for optimal performance and reliability.
