S/S Valve Cover Bolt Kit 1/4in- 20 12pt. (14)

The ARP Stainless Steel Valve Cover Bolt Kit 1/4-20 12-point (14-pack) is a precision fastener set engineered for high-performance engine builds where OEM fasteners fall short. Part number 400-7504 delivers a complete replacement or upgrade solution for valve cover applications, featuring 14 polished stainless steel bolts with 0.812-inch length and 12-point heads that grip securely without stripping. This kit addresses a critical need in engine assembly: OEM fasteners often lack the corrosion resistance and material consistency required in aggressive environments or modified powerplants.

Each bolt in this ARP valve cover fastener kit is manufactured to exacting tolerances with stainless steel construction, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to zinc-plated alternatives. The 1/4-20 thread specification and 12-point head design ensure even clamping pressure across the valve cover gasket surface, critical for maintaining sealing integrity on high-horsepower applications. The polished finish offers both aesthetic appeal and functional protection against salt air and engine bay moisture. At 0.36 lbs total weight for the 14-piece set, this kit is lightweight and easy to install without requiring specialized tools beyond a standard 12-point socket.

Professionals specify ARP fasteners for engine builds where reliability is non-negotiable—street performance vehicles, racing applications, marine engines exposed to corrosive environments, and custom builds where factory hardware cannot guarantee the fastening integrity required. The 1/4-inch diameter with 12-point head design prevents fastener loosening under vibration and thermal cycling, delivering consistent clamping force across repeated heat cycles. This 14-count stainless steel bolt kit is the direct replacement for standard valve cover fasteners on most applications utilizing 1/4-20 specification hardware.
