ARP Ultra Torque Lube 1.0 oz Brush Top Bottle for Diesel Fasteners
$3.45

So, let’s talk about fasteners for a second. If you’re diving into the world of diesel engines, you know that not all bolts are created equal. That’s where ARP comes in. They’ve been at this since 1968, and trust me, they’ve learned a thing or two about making fasteners that can take a beating.

The ARP Ultra Torque Lube is a game-changer, especially if you're working with head studs, main studs, or driveline components. This isn’t just your average lube; it’s designed to help you get the most out of your fasteners. When you're installing these bad boys, you want to make sure you’re achieving the right pre-load. That’s the amount the fastener gets stretched during installation, and with ARP, you can really crank it up without worrying about failure.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This 1.0 oz. brush-top bottle is perfect for precision application. You can easily control how much lube you're using, which is crucial for ensuring that everything seats properly. And if you’ve ever had to deal with a fastener that didn’t hold, you know how important it is to get this step right. The Ultra Torque Lube helps reduce friction, which means you can achieve those high pre-loads without stripping threads or damaging components.

In short, if you're serious about your diesel setup, this lube is worth having in your toolkit. It’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about doing it right, and ARP has your back with technology that’s been refined over decades. Grab a bottle, and let’s make sure your build can handle whatever you throw at it!

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.
