ARP High-Performance Stainless Steel 12pt Valve Cover Stud Kit 1/4-20 in. 8pcs - 400-7613

If you’re diving into a project where you need some solid valve cover studs, let me tell you about the ARP Hi-Perf SS 12pt Valve Cover Stud Kit (400-7613). These aren’t just any studs; they’re made from polished stainless steel, which means they not only look sharp but also resist corrosion like a champ. Seriously, if you’re tired of rust ruining your engine bay's vibe, these are a solid upgrade.

Now, let's talk specs. Each stud has a thread size of 1/4-20 in. and a length of 1.500 in., making them a perfect fit for a variety of applications. Just keep in mind, this kit is sold as a set of 8, so you’ll have enough to cover most valve covers without any hassle. The standard 12-point nut style gives you a nice grip for tightening, which is always a plus when you’re working in tight spaces.

One thing to note is that these studs don’t come with washers or hold-down tabs, so you’ll want to keep that in mind if you need those extras. But hey, if you’re into building or upgrading your engine, you probably have your own stash of parts anyway.

In short, if you’re looking for reliable and durable valve cover fasteners that can handle the heat and the grime, this ARP kit is a smart choice. They’ll keep everything securely in place while giving your engine a polished look. Perfect for those who appreciate the finer details in their builds.

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.
