$20.45

If you're diving into the world of diesel performance, you’ve probably heard of ARP. They've been at it since '68, pushing the limits of fastener design, especially for race applications. These aren't just any bolts; we're talking about head studs and driveline components that are built to take the heat—literally. If you’re looking to beef up your setup, you’ll want to consider the ARP 5/16-24 x 3.000 Black Hex Water Pump Pulley with a 1.750in Fan Spacer Stud Kit.

What’s great about this kit is how it’s engineered to handle extreme loads, which is crucial if you’re running a high-performance diesel engine. The installation pre-loads are higher than what you'd find with standard fasteners, meaning you're getting a stronger hold that can withstand the rigors of racing or heavy-duty use. You won’t have to worry about these babies failing when you’re pushing your rig to the limit.

Specifications:

  • Socket Size(s): 1/2 hex, 1/8 Allen

This kit is not just about strength; it’s also designed for ease of installation. The black hex finish gives it a sleek look while providing the durability you need. If you’re running a setup that requires precise fitment, this stud kit is a solid choice. Just make sure you’ve got the right tools on hand, and you’ll be good to go. Whether you're upgrading your water pump pulley or just looking to ensure everything stays tight under pressure, ARP has got you covered.

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.
