Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 434-6901 GM LS 4.8L/5.3L/5.7L/6.0L/6.2L/7.0L Oil Pan 12-Point Bolt Kit, Stainless Steel, ARP for GM LS-series engine oil pan applications. This ARP fastener kit is designed to replace standard oil pan hardware with polished stainless steel 12-point bolts and matching washers for a clean, finished look and dependable clamping of the oil pan.

If you're building an LS from the ground up or just freshening up the hardware on a swap that's finally ready to go back together, there's no reason to leave a pile of crusty factory bolts staring back at you from underneath the engine. The 434-6901 kit adds the kind of polished ARP hardware that looks right on a clean engine build while giving you easy access with a 12-point socket when it's time to snug the pan down.

The kit includes 10 stainless steel 12-point bolts with washers and is designed around GM LS-series oil pan applications. The bolts feature a 5/16"-18 thread with a 1.00" length. Verify your specific oil pan, block, and fastener configuration before ordering, particularly when working with aftermarket oil pans or modified LS engines.
