This isn't just another set of bolts; it's a solid upgrade for anyone looking to push their engine's limits without worrying about reliability.

First off, let’s talk about what you’re getting. These bolts are made from 8740 chromoly steel, which is a fancy way of saying they’re tough as nails.

Whether you’re building a street beast or a track monster, these bolts are designed to take the heat.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the through-bolt cap retention style. No need to fuss around; just get in there and do your thing. The hex nut style makes it easy to torque them down properly, ensuring everything stays snug and secure. And yes, the nuts are included, so you won’t be scrambling to find the right ones when you’re ready to get your hands dirty.

Each kit comes with a total of 16 bolts, which is perfect for a complete rebuild or if you’re just looking to replace some worn-out hardware. The 7/16 inch thread size is standard for many applications, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility with your existing setup.

In short, if you want to ensure your connecting rods are held in place with confidence, this ARP rod bolt kit is a smart choice. Solid, reliable, and made for performance—what more could you ask for?

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.
