Product Details
The ARP main stud kit for the BMW M30 replaces the factory main cap bolts with high-strength ARP studs/bolts that secure the main bearing caps to the block. Designed for the M30 “big six”, BMW’s long-serving classic straight-six, this is a critical upgrade making it an essential upgrade for any high-performance rebuild or boosted conversion. Standard torque-to-yield fasteners stretch permanently and lose clamping load over time — ARP hardware restores and increases that clamping force, helping prevent head gasket failure, cap walk and fastener fatigue.
Available options for this engine:
- ARP2000 — a 220,000 psi alloy steel, the proven choice for performance builds and quality rebuilds
Supplied with ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant and torqued in stages to ARP’s specification. After initial assembly, complete a full heat cycle and re-torque the fasteners for a lasting, reliable seal.
