ARP 445-1501 Timing Cover Stud Kit 12-Point Chrome Moly

The ARP 445-1501 is a precision-engineered timing cover stud kit designed for professional engine builders who demand reliability and consistent clamping force. This kit features high-strength 8740 chrome moly construction with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and 12-point nuts for secure installation in tight spaces.

Key Features:

• 8740 chrome moly steel construction for superior tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion protection
• 12-point nuts allow precise torque application with minimal clearance
• Bullet nose design on studs guides nuts accurately into place
• Eliminates gasket pinching common with traditional bolts
• Provides more consistent and accurate clamping force than bolts

Studs are the preferred fastening method for timing covers in high-performance and racing applications because they remain stationary during installation, reducing the risk of gasket damage. The stud design also allows for easier engine assembly and disassembly, as the studs stay in place while components are fitted. Each stud features ARP's signature bullet nose tip that ensures proper nut alignment during installation.

This kit is also available as part of ARP's complete Engine & Accessory fastener kits for comprehensive engine builds.
