Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following 434-1502 LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3/LS7 12-Point Stainless Steel Front Timing Cover Bolt Kit, Polished, ARP. This ARP timing cover bolt kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen III and Gen IV LS-series engine applications and provides a polished stainless-steel replacement for the factory timing cover fasteners. The compact 12-point head design provides a clean appearance while allowing access in the tight spaces commonly found around the LS front cover.

When you're putting an LS together, the little details are what make the finished engine look like a properly sorted build instead of a pile of parts that just happens to run. These polished stainless ARP fasteners add a sharp finishing touch to the front of the engine while giving builders a quality fastener package for a fresh timing-cover installation, engine rebuild, restoration, or performance build. The 12-point heads also give the engine bay that unmistakable performance-engine look.

The 434-1502 kit uses polished stainless-steel fasteners with 12-point heads and is sold as a complete timing-cover bolt kit. ARP documentation identifies the 434-1502 as the polished stainless-steel, 12-point timing-cover bolt kit for Chevrolet LS-series applications. Washers are included.

VEHICLE / ENGINE FITMENT

Chevrolet Gen III/IV LS-Series Applications

• LS1
• LS6
• LS2
• LS3
• LS7

The supplied Hawks product information specifically identifies LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3/LS7 applications. ARP's current catalog categorizes 434-1502 more broadly as a Gen III/IV LS-series timing-cover bolt kit.

Because this is an engine-family application rather than a vehicle-specific bolt kit, verify the timing-cover configuration on the engine before ordering, particularly with aftermarket timing covers or non-standard engine combinations.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES AND EXCLUSIONS

• This kit is for Gen III/IV LS-series timing-cover applications.
• It should not be assumed to fit Gen V LT1/LT4 engines; ARP catalogs separate the LS timing-cover fasteners from the LT1/LT4 versions.
• Verify the timing-cover configuration when using aftermarket or modified engine components.
• Do not assume compatibility with an engine simply because it is marketed as an "LS-based" combination.
• The supplied Hawks listing identifies LS1, LS6, LS2, LS3 and LS7 applications.
• Washers are included according to ARP product documentation.

INSTALLATION NOTES

• Follow ARP's current installation and torque recommendations for the fasteners.
• Verify the correct timing-cover application before installation.
• Inspect the timing-cover gasket and sealing surfaces before final assembly.
• Use the appropriate lubricant/anti-seize procedure specified by ARP for stainless-steel fasteners.
• Do not substitute torque specifications from a different ARP fastener material or application.
• Test-fit the fasteners before final tightening to confirm proper engagement and clearance.
• Follow the current ARP recommendations for final torque procedure.
