Dart stud girdles can help to improve the performance and reliability of engines equipped with stud-mounted rocker arms. Extra-long adjusting nuts are tightly clamped between rigid aluminum bars that prevent stud deflection under high loads. The valve motion more closely follows cam profile, producing more power and reducing breakage. Unlike universal girdles, these valvetrain stabilizers are designed to fit the specific valve locations, valve angles, and valve lengths in Dart cylinder heads. These kits include hardened poly-lock adjusting nuts.

Use only the valve springs that will give the recommended spring pressure with the valve both on the seat and at maximum lift. These Dart replacement valve springs are offered in single and dual styles to meet their cam requirements.

Durable steel freeze plugs from Dart work like expansion plugs. As we all know, water expands when it turns to ice, and if the coolant in your vehicle doesn't have enough antifreeze protection, it can freeze and then crack the engine block. Dart freeze plugs are designed to pop out under such conditions to relieve the pressure on the block, thus protecting it against freeze damage.
