• Heat-treated using specialized vertical racks to ensure complete 360-degree penetration for uniform hardness
• Threads rolled after heat-treat process to provide up to 10 times longer fatigue life than cut threads
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting tolerances for consistent clamping loads
• Tensile strength rated between 180,000-210,000 psi for reliable performance in racing applications
• Each fastener features the ARP name stamp as assurance of quality and authenticity

Why 8740 Chrome Moly:

While modern super-alloys offer higher ultimate strength, 8740 chrome moly remains an excellent choice for most performance applications. This quench and temper steel provides outstanding toughness with adequate fatigue properties when threads are rolled after heat-treatment—the standard ARP production practice. The material offers the most cost-effective solution for applications where extreme loads don't justify exotic alloys, while still delivering the reliability and safety margin required for serious performance engines.

ARP fasteners are trusted by professional engine builders and connecting rod manufacturers worldwide. Superior fatigue strength testing shows ARP bolts deliver up to ten times the service life of competing fasteners, making them the smart choice for anyone building an engine to last.
