ARP Bolts ARP SB Chevy Stamped Steel Covers Stainless Steel 12-Point Valve Cover Stud Kit - 400-7611

If you're working on your small-block Chevy, you know how important those little details can be. This ARP SB Chevy Stamped Steel Covers SS 12 pt Valve Cover Stud Kit is a solid choice that makes securing your valve covers a breeze. No more fumbling with bolts that just don’t fit right.

  • Stud Fastener Style: These are designed as studs, which means you can easily thread them into place without the hassle of lining up bolts. Just screw them in and you’re good to go.
  • Polished Finish: They’ve got a polished look that not only adds a bit of flair under the hood but also helps resist corrosion. Nobody wants rust messing with their engine, right?
  • Stainless Steel Material: Made from stainless steel, these fasteners are tough as nails. They won’t strip out or break, even if you’re cranking down on those covers.
  • Standard 12-Point Nut Style: The 12-point design gives you more grip, so you can really torque them down without worrying about slipping. It’s just a better fit for those who like to get hands-on.
  • Thread Size: With a thread size of 1/4-20 in., these studs fit right in with what you need for a solid hold.
  • Thread Length: At 1.170 inches long, they’re just the right length for most stamped steel covers—no guesswork here.
  • Washers Included: You’ll get washers with the kit, so you don’t have to hunt around for them. That’s one less thing to worry about!
  • Hold-Down Tabs: Just a heads up, this kit doesn’t come with hold-down tabs, so if you need those, you’ll have to grab them separately.
  • Quantity: You’ll get a set of 8, which is perfect for most valve covers.

Overall, this kit is a straightforward solution for anyone looking to keep their engine looking sharp and running smoothly. You’ll appreciate the quality when you’re knee-deep in an engine rebuild or just doing some routine maintenance. Trust me, once you’ve used these, you won’t want to go back to regular bolts!

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.
