• Provides interference fit of .001 to .005 inches, accommodating OEM tolerance variations
• Smooth contact surface virtually eliminates galling and scoring of components
• Superior material grain flow compared to knurled designs that create stress risers
• Strengthens the overall joint by reducing fluctuating stress

ARP Manufacturing Excellence:

• Forged in-house from premium 8740 chrome moly steel
• Heat-treated using vertical racks for complete 360-degree penetration
• Threads rolled after heat treatment for up to 10 times longer fatigue life
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting tolerances
• Each fastener proudly stamped with the ARP name as assurance of quality

8740 Chrome Moly Material:

8740 chrome moly is a proven quench and temper steel offering tensile strengths between 180,000 and 210,000 psi. With adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications and proper post-heat-treat thread rolling, this material provides an excellent balance of strength, toughness, and cost-effectiveness for demanding engine builds.

ARP fasteners are the choice of professional engine builders and racers worldwide, offering superior fatigue strength—up to ten times that of competing fasteners. When cylinder head integrity is critical to your engine's performance and longevity, ARP delivers the reliability you need.
