Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 330-2801 GM Small Block Chevy 7/16" Flywheel Bolt Kit for Tilton Flywheel, 12-Point, ARP for Chevy V8 applications using a compatible Tilton flywheel. This Pro Series kit includes six 7/16"-20 x 0.875" underhead-length flywheel bolts with a flat 12-point head, black oxide finish, and no washers. The bolts use a 1/2" socket and are specifically designed for the Tilton flywheel application.
When you're bolting a Tilton flywheel to a small-block Chevy, this is exactly the kind of hardware you want to see going into the crank flange. Six properly sized ARP Pro Series bolts are a lot better choice than digging through the hardware drawer hoping something has the right thread and length. The larger-than-stock shank and flat 12-point head give a serious engine build the kind of purpose-built hardware that belongs behind a high-performance small-block.
ARP lists the 330-2801 as a Pro Series flywheel bolt for Chevy V8 engines with a Tilton flywheel. The bolts are forged from aerospace alloy, heat-treated before thread rolling and machining, and use a 7/16"-20 thread with a 0.875" underhead length. ARP's current catalog rates Pro Series flywheel bolts at 190,000 psi.
