ARP Engine Fasteners & Bolts at JXL Performance

When building a forged engine, standard factory hardware quickly becomes the weakest link. Automotive Racing Products (ARP) is the undisputed global leader in performance engine fasteners. Renowned for their exceptional strength, durability, and reliability, ARP bolts and studs are the ultimate insurance policy for any high horsepower engine build. Whether you are assembling a fast road daily driver or a dedicated track weapon, ARP hardware ensures your engine stays together under extreme cylinder pressures.

Premium Alloys and Extreme Tensile Strength

Standard OEM bolts are often stretch to yield, meaning they permanently deform under load and must be thrown away after a single use. ARP takes a completely different approach. Manufactured from premium grade alloys such as 8740 chrome moly steel and their proprietary ARP2000 material, these fasteners undergo rigorous heat treatments and precise machining.

This gives them superior tensile strength and massive resistance to metal fatigue. In addition to their mechanical superiority, ARP fasteners are treated with advanced proprietary coatings that prevent corrosion and thread galling. This makes them fully reusable, which is ideal for repeated engine assembly and teardown during motorsport seasons.

Head Studs, Main Studs and Rod Bolts

Keeping a highly tuned engine sealed is a massive challenge. ARP head studs are essential for keeping the cylinder head clamped firmly to the engine block under huge boost spikes, preventing blown head gaskets. Down below, their rod bolts and main studs keep the connecting rods and crankshaft perfectly stable at high RPM.

ARP hardware is an absolute necessity if you are forging the 1.6 engine in a Ford Fiesta ST, securing the 2.0 EcoBoost in a Focus ST250 Mk3, or pushing big turbo power through the 2.3 EcoBoost in a Focus RS Mk3. They are equally critical for the VW and Audi EA888.3 platform, completely eliminating the risk of hardware failure when running aggressive Stage 3 tuning.
