When it comes to engine performance, every component matters. That's why serious tuners and mechanics turn to ARP for their bolt needs. The ARP 4542101 intake bolt isn't just another hardware piece—it's engineered to deliver the reliability and performance your engine deserves.
Factory intake bolts often struggle to maintain proper clamping force under high-performance conditions. Over time, heat cycles and vibration can cause them to loosen, leading to intake leaks, poor performance, and potential engine damage. This is especially problematic for modified engines that produce more heat and vibration than stock.
The ARP 4542101 intake bolt features ARP's signature precision machining and premium materials. Each bolt is heat-treated for maximum strength and resistance to stretching under load. The threads are perfectly rolled for superior strength and easier installation, while the special plating provides excellent corrosion resistance.
Whether you're building a high-horsepower street machine or a track-ready race engine, the ARP 4542101 intake bolt delivers peace of mind. The increased clamping force ensures a perfect seal between your intake manifold and cylinder head, preventing air leaks that can ruin performance. You'll notice smoother idle, better throttle response, and consistent performance even after hours of hard use.
Installation is straightforward, but there are a few tips to get the most from your ARP bolts. Always use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's specifications. ARP recommends applying ARP assembly lube to the threads for proper torque readings and to prevent galling. Consider upgrading to ARP's proprietary lube for optimal performance.
Invest in the ARP 4542101 intake bolt and experience the difference that quality hardware makes in your engine's performance and reliability. It's one of those upgrades you'll never regret making.
