PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird SBC Black Oxide Oil Pan Bolt Kit, Hex Head, ARP 234-1802. This ARP oil pan bolt kit is designed for compatible Chevrolet Small Block applications and features hex-head chromoly fasteners with a black oxide finish. The kit is intended for Small Block Chevrolet oil pans using the standard two-piece cork gasket configuration.

For the gearhead putting a small-block back together, this is the kind of detail that is easy to overlook until you're staring at a pile of rusty, mismatched oil pan bolts. ARP's 234-1802 gives the SBC builder a matched set of performance fasteners with the proper hex-head design and washers, helping make the final assembly cleaner and more consistent. It's a straightforward upgrade for a fresh engine build, restoration or performance-oriented Camaro or Firebird project.

ARP identifies 234-1802 as its SB Chevy hex oil pan bolt kit for 265-400 cubic-inch Small Block Chevrolet applications using a standard two-piece cork gasket. ARP's current catalog also identifies the kit as the black-oxide hex-head bolt option for this application.

• Verify the actual engine and oil pan configuration before ordering.

• ARP also offers a 12-point black oxide version, 234-1801; these should not be treated as the same part.
• 234-1802 is intended for the standard two-piece cork gasket application.
• ARP lists separate part numbers for SBC applications using a one-piece rubber gasket, including 134-1802.
• This kit should not be assumed to fit LS-series engines simply because they are Chevrolet V8 engines.

INSTALLATION NOTES

• Verify the oil pan and gasket configuration before installation.
• Clean the oil pan and engine-block mounting surfaces before assembly.
• Inspect the bolt threads and mounting surfaces before installation.
• Use the correct gasket for the oil pan configuration.
• ARP recommends using an appropriate lubricant such as ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant when assembling its fasteners.
• Tighten the oil pan fasteners using the oil pan or engine manufacturer's recommended tightening sequence and torque specification.
• Avoid overtightening oil pan fasteners, as excessive clamping force can distort the pan rail and contribute to sealing problems.
• Always follow the latest manufacturer's installation recommendations for the specific engine and oil pan combination.
