ARP Bolts ARP Chrysler 2.2L 2.5L Wave-Loc Rod Bolt Kit 9/16" Hex Socket Size
$43.45

If you’re diving into the world of performance engines, you’ve probably heard of ARP. They’ve been around since 1968, and let me tell you, they know a thing or two about fasteners. I’ve used their stuff on my builds, and it’s clear they take their game seriously. Their fasteners are designed to handle some serious stress, especially when you’re pushing your diesel to its limits. We’re talking about head studs, main studs, and driveline bolts that are tougher than nails.

One of the standout products in their lineup is the ARP Chrysler 2.2L & 2.5L Wave-Loc Rod Bolt Kit. This kit is a game-changer for anyone looking to beef up their engine. The way these bolts are engineered means they can take on extreme loads without breaking a sweat. When you install them, you’ll notice the pre-load—the amount the fastener stretches during installation—is pretty high. This is a good thing; it means you’re getting a secure fit that can handle whatever you throw at it.

And here’s a little detail that’s worth mentioning: the socket size for these bad boys is a 9/16 hex. It’s a nice touch because you won’t be fumbling around looking for the right tool when it’s time to get your hands dirty. Overall, if you’re serious about your engine performance and want reliability under pressure, this ARP kit is definitely worth considering.

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.
