If you’re diving into the world of high-performance engines, you’ve probably heard of ARP. They’ve been at it since ’68, pushing the envelope on what fasteners can do, especially for racing and heavy-duty applications. Their experience really shows in their diesel fasteners, which have been beefed up to handle some serious stress. I mean, we’re talking about head studs, main studs, and driveline bolts that are designed to take on the extreme loads you might throw at them.

One of my favorite pieces from their lineup is the ARP Porsche RSR TI Rod Bolt Kit. These bad boys are not just any fasteners; they’re crafted for serious performance. The installation pre-loads are impressive—these bolts stretch during installation to ensure everything stays tight under pressure. You want your engine to perform at its best, and trust me, these bolts are a vital part of that equation.

Now, let’s get into some specifics. The socket size for these bolts is a solid 12mm 12pt, which means you’ll need the right tools to get them on there properly. But once you do, you can count on them to hold up against the rigors of racing or heavy towing. The design and materials used in these bolts are top-notch, ensuring durability and reliability when you need it most.

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your setup or just want peace of mind knowing your engine components are secured with the best, this ARP kit is a no-brainer. It’s all about performance and reliability, and these bolts deliver on both fronts.

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.
