ARP Bolts Main Stud Kit for Oldsmobile 350 Diesel 5.7 - 2-Bolt, 200,000 psi Strength - 184-5402

If you're diving into an Oldsmobile 350 Diesel 5.7 build, you’ll want to check out the ARP Main Stud Kit (part number 184-5402). This isn't just any kit; it's designed with real-world performance in mind, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to boost their engine's reliability.

The kit features a 2-bolt main stud style, which is perfect for those who want a secure and robust setup. The fasteners are designed as studs, providing a more stable connection compared to traditional bolts. You’ll appreciate the standard hex nut style that makes installation straightforward—no fancy tools needed here, just your trusty socket set.

One thing to note is that this kit doesn’t work with a windage tray, so if you’re planning on adding one, you might need to look elsewhere. But that’s not a dealbreaker for most builds. The yield strength is impressive at 200,000 psi, meaning these studs can handle the pressure when you’re pushing your engine to its limits.

What’s great is that you get everything you need in one package—yes, the nuts and washers are included. It’s sold as a complete kit, so you won’t have to scramble to find extra parts. If you’re aiming for a reliable setup that can take some serious torque, this ARP kit is definitely worth considering. It’s built for those who know what they want and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

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.
