ARP Bolts ARP Ford Stainless Steel 12pt Timing Cover & Water Pump Kit 454-1501 - 454-1501

If you're diving into a project that involves your Ford's timing cover and water pump, let me tell you about the ARP Ford SS 12pt Timing Cover and Water Pump Kit. This isn't just any kit; it's like having a trusty sidekick when you're under the hood. The 12-point head style on these bolts makes them a breeze to work with, giving you that extra grip when you're tightening things down. No more fumbling around with stripped heads, which is a game changer when you're in a tight spot.

What I really appreciate is the thought put into the materials. These bolts are made from stainless steel, which means they’re not just pretty—they're tough. You won’t have to worry about rust creeping in and ruining your hard work. Plus, they come polished, so they look good too. It’s a nice touch that makes your engine bay shine a bit more.

And yes, they include washers! It's the little things that count, right? Those washers help distribute the load evenly, which is crucial for keeping everything sealed up tight. You get this kit sold as a complete package, so you won’t be scrambling to find extra parts when you’re already elbow-deep in your project.

Overall, the 454-1501 kit is a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade or replace their timing cover and water pump setup. It’s reliable, durable, and designed for real-world use. Trust me, once you’ve got these bad boys in place, you’ll feel the difference. Happy wrenching!

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.
