HEAD STUDS & BOLTS
The overwhelming majority
of drag racers have come
to rely on ARP head studs/
bolts (the basis of ARP’s NHRA
Major Sponsor contingency
program), mains and rod bolts.
Their strength is essential for
optimizing power and reliability.
ARP also manufactures a
variety of specially designed,
high strength fasteners that
make it easier to work on your
car. These include special
harmonic damper bolts that
have a large, 12-point head that
makes it easy to turn the engine
over by hand to set valve lash.
They come with a large ¼"
washer to better distribute the
clamping force.
Polished stainless steel
studs with “nut starter” noses
facilitate installing headers, oil
pans, bellhousings, etc. quickly
and assure proper gasket
alignment. Close-wrenching
nuts help out in tight quarters.
And if you run pedestal type
rockers, ARP’s patented Perma-
Loc® adjusters and companion
studs maintain optimum valve
train geometry and provide “set
it and forget it” convenience.
