Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is the difference between these and factory bolts? Essentially, factory bolts are designed for stock power levels. ARP bolts are made from a much stronger alloy, have a higher tensile strength, and feature rolled threads for superior durability, which is essential for engines producing more power than stock.
- Do these bolts require any special lubricants? Yes, ARP strongly recommends using their own Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant under the bolt head and on the threads for proper torque readings and clamping force.
- How are these bolts installed? ARP provides specific installation instructions, which typically involve lubricating the bolts and torquing them in a crisscross pattern to the specified foot-pounds (e.g., 75 ft-lbs). Washers are not to be used with these bolts.
- Do you ship automotive performance parts nationwide in South Africa? Yes, absolutely, we offer fast and reliable delivery of high-performance components throughout South Africa from our location in Alberton, Gauteng.
