Key Features
The ARP High Performance Series Head Bolt Kits incorporate several innovative features that set them apart from standard fasteners:
- Rated at 180,000 psi, these bolts are 15 percent stronger than traditional Grade 8 fasteners, offering superior tensile strength and durability for high-stress engine environments.
- Manufactured from chromoly steel, a high-strength alloy known for its excellent toughness and resistance to stretching or fatigue under extreme conditions.
- Finished with a black oxide coating that provides corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance, ensuring longevity and maintaining aesthetic appeal.
- Available with either a reduced wrenching hex head or a 12-point head, designed to facilitate easier installation and re-torque procedures without the need for valvetrain removal.
- Includes washers to ensure proper load distribution and secure fastening, enhancing overall reliability.
- Precision-machined threads and undercut design help achieve optimal torque and clamp load, reducing the risk of head gasket failure or head lift during high-performance operation.
Construction & Design
The ARP Head Bolt Kit features a meticulously engineered design, utilizing high-quality chromoly steel to withstand the rigors of high horsepower applications. The bolts are manufactured through advanced cold-forging processes, which enhance their strength and fatigue resistance. The black oxide finish not only provides corrosion protection but also reduces friction during installation, allowing for more accurate torque application.
The reduced wrenching hex head or 12-point head options are designed for ease of use, especially in tight engine bays or when performing multiple head bolt re-torques. The inclusion of washers ensures even load distribution across the cylinder head surface, preventing uneven stress and potential warping. Overall, the design emphasizes durability, ease of installation, and consistent performance under demanding conditions.
Installation & Fitment
The ARP Head Bolt Kit is designed for straightforward, bolt-on installation. It is compatible with various Chevrolet engines, and the kit includes all necessary components for a complete installation. No special tools beyond standard socket sets are required, and the bolts can be torqued using conventional methods. It is recommended to follow ARP's specified torque sequence and values for optimal results.
Typically, no cutting, drilling, or extensive modifications are needed. For best results, ensure the cylinder head and block surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Re-torque the head bolts after initial engine run-in as per ARP guidelines to ensure proper clamping force is maintained over time.
