High Performance Pressure Plate Kit for Ford 289-460 V8 (1985 & earlier)

High Performance Pressure Plate Kit for Ford 289-460 V8 (1985 & earlier)The importance of pressure plate bolts in a racing or hi performance street application cannotbe emphasized nearly enough. These fasteners play a key role in both the performance and safetyof a vehicle. Because of this, ARP has developed special pressure plate bolts that are applicationspecific to ensure the optimum grip length. ARP offers High Performance Series bolts that aremade from a premium grade chrome moly and hardened to a nominal tensile

which requires less energy to operate

which makes for amore consistent clamping force – and one that compensates forhead gasket compression when the cylinder heads are installed

Material: ARP2000

and monitor overall length during installation

you may choose betweenconventional hex style or the space-saving 12-point nuts

Measure the fastener prior to starting

This material is heat-treated to provide a tensile strength in the 200

It costs a lot more to do it this way

All Pro Series head bolts have areduced wrenching hex or 12-point head and wide area flange to permit the use of larger diameter valve springs and eliminate theneed for valve train removal during cylinder head retorquing

All High Performance Series bolts are 180

000 psi and are able to easily handle the tremendous acceleration shock loads (shear) and lateral forces (elongation) found in racing
