If you're diving into a build that demands serious durability, let me tell you about the ARP BB Chevy 3/8in Wave-Loc High Performance Rod Bolt Kit. These aren't just any bolts; they're crafted from 8740 chromoly steel, which means they can take a beating and keep on ticking. Seriously, with a yield strength of 200,000 psi, you can trust these bad boys to hold your connecting rods tight even under the most intense conditions.
Now, let's talk about the details that really matter. The connecting rod manufacturer is stock, so you're getting a reliable fit right out of the gate. The cap retention style is through-bolt, which adds an extra layer of security when you're pushing your engine to the limit. And if you're concerned about getting everything tightened down just right, the rod bolt head style is type A, which is pretty standard but effective. Plus, the hex nut style means you won’t be fumbling around with tools when it’s time to install or adjust.
What’s even better? This kit comes with 16 bolts and nuts, so you can get your whole setup sorted without having to hunt down extra parts. It’s all about making your life easier while ensuring you're getting the best performance out of your Chevy. Whether you’re racing or just want a reliable ride, this rod bolt kit is a solid choice that I can personally vouch for. Trust me, you won't regret giving your engine the strength it needs.

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.
