KTM RC390 cylinder stud Kit  “PRO MOD” STUDS
The RC390 engine uses head bolts instead of the preferred stud arrangement. When engines are subjected to bigger bores, higher compression ratios, etc. the stock head bolts are not up to the task. Blown head gaskets are the result.
These RC390  studs are made from ultra high heat treated premium chrome moly, centerless ground 8740 steel and feature rolled threads for maximum strength. When installing them into the case you should torque to 10/15Ft.Lbs. The new head torque will be 38/40 lbs. This set up is a must for all serious go-fast motors.

***A few words to the Purchaser, we would recommend you to assemble your engine as per the factory manual, once you have put the cylinders onto the engine cases at this time we find it simpler to install the Spears Racing RC390  cylinder head studs. Take the longer threaded end of the stud and apply moly or a light coat of oil and start the studs by hand into the holes(4) per cylinder  and make sure you torque to the proper specification (noted in the 10mm Stud Kit Install).

***Pictures of where the studs sit before drilling 10mm of threads out of the engine cases to allow them to have a lower install height.  The 2 holes that need to be drilled are without dowel pins on the cam chain side. You can see the studs are now sitting at the same level ***
