The Ultimate Solution to Factory Head Bolt Failure

The M156 AMG engine is notorious for factory head bolt failure, but VRP H-13 Head Studs for the M156 provides a reliable solution. The factory head bolts often suffer from a critical design flaw. They are installed as “torque to yield,” meaning they stretch permanently when tightened. This stretching compromises their strength, leading to common snapping. When the head bolts snap, the head can lift, mixing oil, coolant, and air. This can cause severe damage to the engine internals.

To address this issue, we’ve developed the VRP H-13 Head Studs for the M156. Our head studs are a direct replacement for the problematic factory bolts. Unlike most aftermarket head studs made of mild steel, our VRP H-13 Head Studs are crafted from premium H-13 steel. This material is renowned for its strength and hardness, making our head studs the toughest on the market.

Key features:
  • Superior Strength: Made from H-13 steel, offering unmatched durability.
  • Reliable Performance: Prevents head bolt snapping and ensures a secure fit.
  • Direct Replacement: Fits perfectly in place of factory head bolts.
  • Enhanced Engine Protection: Keeps oil, coolant, and air charges properly separated, avoiding internal damage.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bolt Installation and Removal

Installation Instructions

  1. Prepare the Components:
    • Apply a small amount of silicone to the washer and nut. This helps seal against the head and bolt since it’s a two-piece design.
  2. Torque Sequence:
    • Follow the sequence diagram provided to ensure even torque distribution.
    • Tighten the bolts in the following stages:
      • Step 1: Torque each bolt to 55 Nm.
      • Step 2: Increase torque to 110 Nm.
      • Step 3: Finalize torque at 150 Nm.
  3. Sequence Options:
    • One Bolt at a Time:
      • Complete all three torque stages (55 Nm → 110 Nm → 150 Nm) on one bolt before moving to the next.
    • All Bolts Simultaneously:
      • Tighten all bolts to 55 Nm first, then proceed to 110 Nm, and finally to 150 Nm, following the sequence at each stage.
