If you're diving into a project with your Chevy SB2, you'll want to make sure every detail is spot on. That's where the ARP Chevy SB2 SS Hex Valve Cover Stud Kit comes into play. These aren't just any fasteners; they’re designed specifically for those who know the importance of a solid build.

First off, let's talk about the stud fastener style. This kit features a stud design that makes installation a breeze. You won’t be fumbling around trying to get a nut on a bolt; just thread these babies in, and you're good to go. Plus, they come polished, which not only looks great under the hood but also helps resist corrosion. You’re working with stainless steel here, so you know they’re built to last.

Now, if you’re wondering about the hex head style, it’s a game changer. It gives you a solid grip when you're torquing them down, and with a thread size of 1/4-20 inches and a length of 1.800 inches, these studs are perfectly sized for your application. And don't worry, you’ll get washers included in the kit, ensuring a snug fit that keeps everything sealed up tight.

These studs come with nyloc hex nuts that won't back off once you’ve got them torqued down. That peace of mind is worth its weight in gold when you're pushing your engine to its limits. Just to note, there are no hold-down tabs included, but honestly, most setups don’t need them if you’re using these quality fasteners.

You'll get a complete set of 16 fasteners, which is perfect for your valve cover. Whether you're rebuilding your engine or just doing some routine maintenance, this kit will keep your valve cover secure and looking sharp. So, if you're serious about your build, grab a set of these ARP studs and feel the difference in quality.

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.
