Stealth Cylinder Head Bolt Kit - 12pt. If you are using our Stealth aluminum cylinder heads, these brand new head bolts are just the ticket. Featuring very high strength, but still at a great price, these are the way to go. Priced at a fraction of the cost of the name brand bolts, these are custom made for us by one of the largest bolt manufacturers around. They feature reduced diameter 12 point heads for easy access in applications that have countersunk head bolts (such as our Stealth aluminum heads or Edelbrock Performer RPM heads), but they also work great with factory iron heads. Rated at 180,000 PSI, they are far stronger that the factory head bolts, or even a standard type grade 8 bolt. We even include .100" thick hardened washers with them. One set contains enough bolts for two heads (one complete engine.)
12 Point Bolt Kit - Cylinder Head - Stainless Steel For those who want the best of the best, our fully polished stainless steel cylinder head bolt & washer bolt kits are exactly what people mean when they say "show quality." Made from high grade stainless steel alloy, these are often used in marine and aircraft enviornments which require the utmost in chemical and corrosion resistance. They are rated at a minimum 170,000 PSI, which is even stronger than a grade 8 bolt! And, you can't beat the quality, shine and corrosion resistance of polished stainless. Nothing resists the ravages of weather, time and even repeated tightening and loosening like stainless. These are truly maintenance free! Small details like this can really make a car "show quality." These work great for high horsepower and/or highly stressed applications with our STEALTH aluminum cylinder heads, factory cast iron heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads, or any other heads that use stock length bolts. A 12 point head design with reduced wrenching size and wide area flanged head eliminates the need for retorquing. Includes enough bolts for two heads (one complete engine.)
Bolt Kit - Cylinder Head 12pt. - Trick Flow Heads Only Trick Flow 240 and 270 heads have larger intake ports, which raises up the top of the head. A taller head requires longer than stock head bolts. These reduced diameter USA made bolts feature 12 point heads, and are rated at least 170,000 PSI, far stronger than the factory head bolts or even a standard type grade 8 bolt. We even include .100" thick custom made hardened washers with them. One set contains enough bolts for two heads (one complete engine.) A great USA made choice, strong enough for virtually all applications, at a price that won't break the bank! For use with Trick Flow Heads ONLY! Exact appearance may differ slightly from the photo.
ARP Ultra-Torque Assembly Lube - 1.69oz Tube Whenever you order bolts, don't forget a tube of ARP assembly lubricant. ARP's new "Ultra-Torque" is a special new blend of PFTE lube which ensures the correct torque will be reached on the first pull, so there is no longer any need to "cycle" the fastener (or loosen and tighten it several times), which has been the case with ARP's regular "Moly Lube" This lube is essential to get correct torque on the head, rod and main bolts, and it doesn't hurt to put it on misc other engine bolts as well. One tube is usually enough to do 4 or 5 complete engines, so it's a good investment to keep around the shop.
Permatex Blue Loctite Use our premium Permatex BLUE Loctite on all applications which need to be held in place, but are still intended to be broken loose from time to time. We always use this on certain parts of the engine which tend to come loose occaisionally due to harmonics, even when they are torqued correctly during assembly. Big Block Mopars are famous for this on torque coverter bolts, rocker arm hardware, cam sprocket bolts, etc. We highly recommend it for those applications. One small tube is usually enough to do one complete engine. Made in the USA!
Permatex Red Loctite Use our premium Permatex RED Loctite on all applications which need to be held in place near permanently, and you don't expect to need to break loose. One small tube is usually enough to do one complete engine. Made in the USA!
