If you're diving into a project with your LS1 or LS2 engine, you know that every little detail counts. That’s where the ARP LS1 LS2 12pt Water Pump Bolts with Thermostat Housing Bolts Kit comes into play. This isn't just another set of bolts; it's a solid upgrade for anyone serious about their build.

These bolts are crafted from chromoly, which means they’re not just tough—they’re built to last. The black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also provides a layer of corrosion resistance that can stand up to the elements. Trust me, you don’t want to be dealing with rusted bolts when you're trying to maintain peak performance.

One of the standout features is the 12-point head style. This design gives you a better grip and allows for more torque than your standard hex bolts. It’s a game changer when you’re working in tight spaces and need that extra leverage. Plus, they come as a complete kit, so you won’t be scrambling to find matching parts halfway through your install.

In short, if you're looking to ensure your water pump and thermostat housing are secured with the best, this kit is a no-brainer. It’s all about reliability and performance, and with these ARP bolts, you can rest easy knowing you’ve got the right stuff holding everything together.

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.
