About ARP

ARP manufacturer high-performance fasteners used in automotive, racing, and high-stress applications. These bolts are renowned for their superior strength, reliability, and durability, which makes them ideal for engines, transmissions, and other critical components in racing and high-performance vehicles.

FAQ

What are ARP bolts, and why are they better than standard fasteners?

Superior Material Quality

ARP bolts are made from premium materials like 8740 chromoly steel, ARP 2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+, which offer higher tensile strength compared to typical factory bolts.
Increased Strength & Durability

Most ARP fasteners are rated at 180,000 to 260,000 psi tensile strength, whereas OEM bolts typically range from 120,000 to 150,000 psi. They are significantly stronger and more resistant to failure.

Better Heat Resistance & Fatigue Resistance

Standard bolts can weaken over time due to heat cycling and stress, whereas ARP fasteners are heat-treated and shot-peened to increase fatigue resistance, making them ideal for high-performance applications.

Precise Manufacturing & Tighter Tolerances

ARP bolts are machined to exact specifications and undergo rigorous quality control, ensuring perfect fitment and uniform clamping force, unlike mass-produced factory bolts.

Reusability

Many factory (Stock) fasteners, such as torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts, stretch upon installation and cannot be reused. ARP bolts can often be reused multiple times as long as they remain within specification.

Prevents Engine & Component Failure

Because of its superior quality, ARP fasteners are often used in critical areas like cylinder heads, connecting rods, and main caps prevents bolt stretching or loosening, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure.

What are they commonly used on?

Head studs & bolts (for better gasket sealing)

Main studs & bolts (to strengthen the engine block)

Rod bolts (to secure connecting rods)

Flywheel bolts (for high-RPM safety)

Wheel studs (for added durability in motorsports)
