If you're diving into a project that involves replacing your connecting rods, you might want to take a good look at the ARP General Replacement Rod Bolt Kit. This isn’t just another set of bolts; it’s a solid upgrade for anyone who values performance and reliability.

Now, let’s talk about what makes these bolts stand out. First off, they’re made from ARP2000 alloy, which is known for its superior strength and durability. We’re talking about a fastener yield strength of 200,000 psi. That’s some serious muscle behind your engine, especially if you're pushing it to the limits. The 5/16 inch thread size fits snugly, ensuring that your rods stay securely in place, even under high stress.

The through-bolt cap retention style is a game changer, too. It’s designed to handle the kind of torque that comes with high-performance builds, so you can feel confident that everything is locked down tight. Plus, the 12-point nut style means you’re getting a better grip when it’s time to tighten things up. Just make sure you have a 3/8 inch wrench handy for installation; it’s a perfect fit for these bolts.

One detail that’s worth noting is the underhead length of 1.500 inches. This measurement is spot on for a lot of applications, but always double-check to ensure it aligns with your setup. Just a heads up, though—this kit doesn’t come with nuts, so you might want to grab those separately if you don’t have some lying around.

In short, if you want to beef up your engine with some reliable hardware, this ARP rod bolt kit is a solid choice. It’s built for those who push their vehicles hard and need components that can keep up. Trust me, once you’ve got these in place, you’ll feel the difference in performance.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
