What does the 12-point head offer over a standard 6-point bolt?

The 12-point head allows for a 30-degree range of engagement with your socket, compared to the 60-degree range of a 6-point bolt. This can be very helpful in tight engine compartments where full socket access is difficult.

What kind of vehicles typically use this kit?

This kit is designed for Small Block Chevy Vortec engines, which are found in a wide variety of GM vehicles from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s, including trucks, SUVs, and some cars.

Does this kit include all the necessary hardware for the accessory drive?

This kit contains specific ARP 12-point bolts for the accessory drive components. It's always a good idea to verify the exact contents against your vehicle's original hardware to ensure all necessary pieces are accounted for during your project.

Product Details

When you're working on the accessory drive for your Small Block Chevy Vortec engine, using the right hardware makes all the difference. This 12-point accessory kit from ARP is designed to replace the stock fasteners, offering a more robust and reliable connection for your components. It's a solid choice for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their engine's front end.

ARP is well-known for making strong fasteners, and this kit is no exception. The bolts are made from high-grade alloy steel, heat-treated for extra strength, and feature a 12-point head design. This 12-point head is a nice touch because it allows you to get a good grip with a socket, even in tight spaces where a standard 6-point might be difficult to access or turn. This means a smoother installation process and a more secure fit for your water pump, alternator bracket, and other accessories.

This kit is specifically put together for Small Block Chevy Vortec engines, ensuring that the bolt lengths and thread pitches are correct for those applications. It's a straightforward way to ensure your accessory components are mounted securely, which is crucial for proper engine function and longevity.
