ARP Head Bolt Kit 134-3610 — High-Strength Engine Bolts with Precision Threads

ARP 134-3610 is a high-strength head bolt kit engineered to secure cylinder heads with reliable clamping force for performance and OEM-replacement engines.

Built by ARP in the United States, this head bolt kit is part of a comprehensive range of engine and driveline fasteners designed for street, off-road, and motorsport use. ARP has expanded its catalog to include thousands of part numbers that cover common OEM replacements as well as specialty hardware for high-stress racing environments. The 134-3610 kit delivers proven metallurgy and manufacturing tolerances that help maintain consistent torque and joint integrity under repeated thermal and mechanical cycling.

What makes the ARP 134-3610 head bolt kit suitable for high-performance engines?

These bolts are manufactured with controlled material specifications and precision threads to provide predictable stretch and clamping. That consistency helps preserve head gasket sealing and reduces the risk of fastener fatigue during repeated heat cycles.

• High-strength alloy suitable for elevated clamping requirements
• Precision thread rolling for uniform preload
• Consistent elongation properties for predictable torque-to-yield behavior

How do I install and torque these head bolts correctly?

Installation requires following the engine manufacturer's torque sequence and values or ARP's recommended procedures if replacing OEM torque-to-yield bolts. Clean threads, use the specified lubricant, and follow a staged torque pattern to reach final preload without binding.

• Clean and inspect block and head threads before assembly
• Apply ARP-recommended fastener lubricant for accurate torque readings
• Tighten in the specified sequence in stages to final torque or angle as required

Does the kit include everything needed for a head installation?

The 134-3610 kit typically contains the head bolts required for the specific engine application it was produced for, but it may not include washers or installation instructions unless noted on the product packaging. Verify your engine’s part compatibility and whether additional components or torque-specific procedures are necessary.

• Contains application-specific head bolts manufactured by ARP
• Package dimensions: approximately 3 x 7 x 7 inches; weight about 3.0 pounds
• Check item listing to confirm inclusion of washers or hardware extras

Will these bolts work for both street and track use?

Yes—ARP designs many of its head bolt kits to handle the demands of both daily-driven engines and competition applications. Their controlled manufacturing provides the strength and reliability needed in higher-stress environments, provided you follow correct installation and service intervals.

• Suitable for street, off-road, and power sport applications
• Engineered for higher torque and repeated thermal cycling
• Manufactured in the United States to strict quality standards

Who is this for: The ARP 134-3610 head bolt kit is aimed at mechanics, engine builders, and performance enthusiasts who need dependable, high-quality head fasteners for repairs, rebuilds, or upgrades. It’s appropriate for owners replacing worn or damaged OEM bolts as well as builders preparing engines for increased power or racing duty. Always confirm the part number matches your engine application and follow proper assembly practices for best results.
