If you're diving into a build with your Dart or Brodix heads, you might want to check out this ARP Valve Cover Stud Kit. It’s not just another set of fasteners; these are designed with some serious thought behind them. First off, the studs are made from chromoly, which means they’re tough enough to handle the heat and pressure without bending or breaking. You’re getting a solid black oxide finish too, which not only looks sleek but also provides some corrosion resistance—always a plus when you’re working under the hood.

Now, let’s talk about the details. These studs come in a 1/4-20 thread size and a thread length of 3.500 inches. That’s perfect for keeping your valve covers snug on those high-performance heads. Each kit includes 8 studs and yes, you get washers too, so you won’t have to hunt around for those. Just a heads up, there are no hold-down tabs included, but honestly, if you’re serious about your setup, you probably don’t need them.

Installing these is pretty straightforward, and they fit like a glove on compatible setups. Just make sure you’re pairing them with the right heads to avoid any fitment issues. If you’re looking to keep things tight and right, this ARP kit is a solid choice that won’t let you down. Trust me, once you’ve got these in, you’ll feel more confident about your engine’s integrity. Happy wrenching!

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.
