This ARP performance fastener, stud, bolt, tool, or assembly is the Cam Bolt Kit for Ford 4.6L & 5.4L Modular V8 - M10 (1 per cam required). Confirm the exact engine or vehicle application, thread size, length, material, strength series, included quantity, installation lubricant, tightening sequence, and current ARP torque specification before ordering.
Key Features
- 8740 Chrome Moly Construction: Forged alloy steel resists stretch and fatigue far beyond factory torque to yield bolts.
- Increased Pre Load Clamping Force: Keeps the cam sprocket seated tight and prevents timing slip under load.
- Black Oxide Finish: Adds corrosion resistance without affecting torque values.
- M10 x 1.5 Thread, 190,000 PSI Pro Series: Matched thread pitch for stock cam sprockets on 2V and 4V Modular engines.
- While holding the camshaft from rotating, torque the bolt to 65 ft lbs using ARP Ultra Torque lubricant.
