Cylinder Head Stud for Perkins A4.212, A4.236, and A4.248 Engines - 120mm Length SKU: QT32166338

Worn or stretched studs can't maintain proper clamping pressure, leading to blown head gaskets, coolant leaks, and compression loss. When you're doing a head gasket job or rebuilding your Perkins engine, don't reuse those stretched old head studs. This cylinder head stud gives you the proper clamping force you need to keep that head gasket sealed tight through years of hard work.

Why Quality Studs Matter

• Purpose-built engine stud designed specifically for Perkins engine requirements - not hardware store all-thread
• Heat-treated steel provides the right balance of strength and stretch resistance with roll-formed threads for maximum strength
• Unlike head bolts that can only be torqued once or twice, quality studs can be reused multiple times if you ever need to pull the head again
• 120mm length provides correct thread engagement and optimal clamping force

Proper head stud installation is critical for head gasket longevity - follow the factory torque sequence and specifications exactly. With over 55 years of helping customers rebuild engines right the first time, S&H Parts knows this is one component where quality matters.
