ARP 300-6602 3.5 Carrillo Replacement Rod Bolt Kit, 3/8" Thread Size, 1.600" UHL - 300-6602

If you're diving into the world of high-performance diesel engines, you’ve probably heard of ARP. They’ve been in the game since '68, and they know a thing or two about fasteners. These aren’t just any bolts and studs; they’re built for serious power. The ARP 3.5 Carrillo Replacement Rod Bolt Kit is designed to take the heat and the stress that comes with pushing your engine to its limits.

What makes these fasteners stand out? Well, for starters, they’re engineered to handle extreme loads, which is crucial if you're running a modified setup or just want peace of mind for your stock engine. The installation pre-loads are no joke; these bolts are stretched tight during installation, which means they stay secure even under heavy use.

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty:

  • Thread Size: 3/8"
  • UHL: 1.600"
  • Thread Length: 0.600"
  • Grip Length: 0.145"
  • Head Height: 0.365"
  • Socket Size: 7/16 12pt
  • Collar Diameter: 0.565"

These specs mean you’re getting a solid fit, and they’re perfect for anyone looking to replace worn-out rod bolts. They fit well with Carrillo rods, so you know you're getting a reliable connection. No more worrying about whether your fasteners can handle the torque; these guys are up to the task.

In short, if you’re serious about your build and want to ensure everything stays together when it counts, this ARP kit is a no-brainer. It’s all about keeping your engine running strong and reliable, and with ARP, you’re in good hands.

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.
