ARP Bolts ARP 134-3701 SB Chevy 12-Point Head Bolt Kit, Chromoly, Black Oxide Finish - 134-3701

If you're diving into a small block Chevy build, you might want to take a look at the ARP SB Chevy 12-point head bolt kit. This isn’t just a set of bolts; it’s a piece of mind for anyone serious about their engine setup. I’ve used these on my own projects, and I can tell you, they make a difference.

First off, the 12-point head style is a game changer. It gives you more grip than your standard hex head bolts, which is super handy when you’re cranking down on those torque specs. And speaking of grip, the chromoly material means these bolts can handle some serious stress without bending or breaking. Trust me, you don’t want to be dealing with a snapped bolt halfway through an engine rebuild.

The black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also helps prevent corrosion, which is a must if you're planning on putting some serious miles on your ride. Plus, you’re getting washers included in the kit, so you won’t be scrambling around looking for those little guys when it’s time to install.

One thing to note is that these bolts are sold as a complete kit, so you’re all set for your head installation without having to hunt down individual pieces. And while you can’t cut them to fit, they’re designed to work perfectly with your standard small block Chevy setup, so you can trust that they’ll fit right out of the box.

In short, if you’re looking to beef up your engine with some reliable hardware, this ARP head bolt kit is worth considering. It’s built for performance and durability, and that’s something any car enthusiast can appreciate.

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.
