Ford Explorer Sport Trac Head Stud Kit - ARP - 12-Point - `07-`10. This ARP head stud kit is made for the Ford Modular 4.6L and 5.4L 3‑valve engines used in 2007–2010 Explorer Sport Trac models, replacing the factory head bolts with durable ARP studs for a more reliable clamping solution.

Manufactured to ARP standards, the 12‑point design offers straightforward installation and repeatable preload for improved head gasket retention during routine service or when modifying the top end. Studs remain in the block when heads are removed, reducing thread wear and the chance of damaged fastener threads compared with repeated bolt installations. This kit is appropriate for enthusiasts performing cylinder head removal, head gasket replacement, or modest performance upgrades on the 3‑valve Modular engines. The kit includes the studs, nuts, and washers necessary for a full head stud conversion.
