ARP lube

ARP lube is an important part of the correct installation of engine bolts, studs and other critical fastening parts, where high demands are placed on precision and reliability. It is used as an assembly paste during engine assembly and ensures that bolts and nuts achieve the correct tension when tightened to the specified torque.

At Qualitec, you will find ARP lube for engine builds, tuning and motorsport, where correct tightening is crucial for durability. When using ordinary oil or dry assembly, friction can vary, which may result in incorrect tension in the bolts. ARP lube is developed to provide consistent friction and therefore more precise and repeatable tightening, which is important in critical assemblies such as cylinder heads, main bearings, connecting rods and flywheels.

The ARP lubricant is typically applied to threads and under the bolt head or nut to reduce friction during tightening. This makes it possible to achieve the correct clamping force without overloading the bolts, which is crucial in engines with high loads, high RPM and increased power. It is especially relevant together with ARP bolts and studs, where the manufacturer’s torque specifications are often based on the use of ARP lube.
