Atomic Competition Fasteners Head/Main Stud Kits

The Need for High-Performance Fasteners in Modern Engines

Atomic Competition Fasteners Head/Main Stud Kits are designed to address the increasing demands of modern high-performance engines. While head and main studs have been used for years to efficiently fasten highly stressed engine components, Atomic has revolutionized the process by producing top-tier, high-quality H-11 Tool Steel studs specifically for applications where either the prices were exorbitant or the studs were simply unavailable. Our mission is to provide engine builders with superior solutions to support the immense pressures produced by today’s turbocharged engines.

Why Choose Atomic Competition Fasteners for Your Engine Build?

Ford 6-cylinder engines face a unique challenge with only four bolts per cylinder, meaning head studs are subjected to far higher loadings compared to engines that utilize five bolts per cylinder. With the rapid advancements in turbocharger technology over the past several years, today’s engines are capable of producing extraordinary power levels, pushing upwards of 7.5 HP per cubic inch and beyond. As turbo pressures continue to increase, Atomic has engineered a solution for these extreme conditions by upgrading the material used in our studs to premium H-11 Tool Steel, the best choice for highly stressed fasteners.

Next-Generation Features for Improved Performance and Reliability

Atomic has responded to the increasing demands of modern high-performance engines with our next-generation competition fasteners. Here’s what makes Atomic’s main studs stand out:

• H-11 Tool Steel for Maximum Strength: Atomic’s main studs are crafted from H-11 Tool Steel, which is renowned for its exceptional strength, heat resistance, and ability to withstand extreme loads. This material choice ensures that the studs can handle the immense pressures of high-boost, high-performance turbocharged engines.
• Bottoming Tab Design: A new feature on our next-generation studs is the bottoming tab on the end that threads into the block. This design allows engine builders to achieve the correct thread purchase, ensuring proper thread preload and making it easier to adjust the installed height. This is particularly important as factory thread depths can vary by up to 10mm.
• Easy Installation: Atomic’s studs are designed for a hassle-free fit. There’s no need to modify sumps or cut down excessively long studs when installing our kits. Our precise engineering ensures the studs fit perfectly without additional modifications, saving time and effort during installation.
• Oversize Head Stud Washers: To further enhance the reliability of our head studs, Atomic has introduced oversize head stud washers. These washers help distribute the load evenly, preventing issues like Ford cylinder head bolt bosses crushing under extreme boost or detonation. This innovation maintains the stud’s preload and contributes to better engine durability.
