1/4-20 Torx Bolt - for Cam Retainer Plate SBC

The 1/4-20 Torx Bolt for Cam Retainer Plate SBC by Chevrolet Performance is a precision fastener engineered for small-block Chevrolet engine assembly and rebuilds. This chromoly construction bolt features a Torx head and black oxide finish, delivering the corrosion resistance and holding strength required in high-heat engine compartments where vibration and thermal cycling are constant operational stressors.

The 1/4-20 thread pitch and 0.500-inch length are factory-spec dimensions critical for proper cam retainer plate positioning and clamping force distribution across the cylinder head. Chromoly material provides superior tensile strength compared to standard steel fasteners, reducing the risk of bolt stretch or shear under sustained engine load. The black oxide coating resists oxidation in the high-moisture, temperature-variable engine bay environment—a specification detail that operators rebuilding or maintaining performance small-block engines depend on to maintain assembly integrity across multiple heat cycles and extended storage intervals.

This fastener is essential for SBC engine rebuilds, marine engine applications, off-road and performance vehicle restoration, and any application where OEM-grade engine hardware is required. Whether you're performing a field rebuild, restoring a classic muscle car, or maintaining a marine power plant, matching the original Chevrolet Performance fastener specification ensures proper torque retention and eliminates guesswork during reassembly. Individual bolt unit allows builders to replace damaged fasteners without purchasing full rebuild kits.
