12-Pt Head Stainless Oil Pan Bolt Kit for Chevrolet Gen III/IV LS Series small block

12-Pt Head Stainless Oil Pan Bolt Kit for Chevrolet Gen III/IV LS Series small blockThe engineers at ARP spent quite a bit of time developing these highly effective, unique oil pan studs. Theyre designed to make it as easy as possible to install a pan and seal it properly. Youll note that the studs have a radiused bullet nose that serves to locate the pan rails, then allow the nuts to be easily installed without the worry of cross threading. For those who prefer bolts, ARPs got you covered, too. Both are available in black oxide

A “must” for any serious engine builder

ARP’s special drive plate bolts have many important features

the harmonic damper absorbs incredible amounts of kinetic energy

Made from ARP2000 and heat-treated to 220

Most applications have undercut short bolts that can help eliminate head gasket failures through providing more “stretch” to compensate for theadditional compression of gaskets

They are both forged from aerospace alloy and heat-treated prior to thread rollingand machining

Because ARP studs are manufactured to suchexacting tolerances

All carb studs include a nut starter nose (except where noted) and kitscome with hex nuts and washers

Cycle testing hows ARP High Performance rod bolts to be nearly five times more reliable than stock bolts

delivers a material with superior fatigue characteristics and typically tensile strength in the 260

ARP is the first to develop manufacturing and testing processes for fasteners with Custom Age 625+
