ARP 3/8-24 12pt Rod Bolt — High-Performance Connecting Rod Fastener

Watch in action

The Foundation of Engine Reliability

Connecting rod bolts are arguably the most critical fasteners inside your engine. The ARP 3/8-24 12pt Rod Bolt is designed to withstand the extreme reciprocating forces found in high-performance engines. When you push your RPMs to the limit, you need hardware that won't stretch or fail. ARP’s proprietary manufacturing process ensures these bolts provide the clamping force necessary to keep your rod bearings seated perfectly under load.

Key Technical Features

• Thread Size: 3/8-24 fine thread for precise torque application.
• Head Design: 12-point head for easier access in tight clearances.
• Material: Aerospace-grade alloy for superior fatigue resistance.
• Precision: Manufactured to exact tolerances for consistent stretch.
• Application: Ideal for high-performance connecting rod upgrades.

These bolts are the result of decades of racing development. By utilizing a 12-point head design, they allow for easier socket engagement in confined spaces, making them the preferred choice for professional engine builders. Whether you are refreshing a street strip engine or building a dedicated race motor, choosing the right rod bolts is essential for longevity. Avoid catastrophic engine failure by replacing your tired factory rod hardware with the gold standard in fastener technology. Get the best engine internals and hardware at GGCRACING.
