Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following 434-6902 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L, 7.0L LS-Series Oil Pan Bolt Kit, 12-Point, Polished Stainless Steel, ARP. This ARP oil pan bolt kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen III/IV LS-Series applications and features polished stainless-steel construction, a compact 12-point head design and washers. ARP identifies 434-6902 specifically as a Gen III/IV LS-Series oil pan bolt kit.

When you're building an LS, the oil pan hardware might not be the first thing on the parts list—but once the engine is cleaned up and going back together, old rusty bolts stick out like a sore thumb. The polished stainless ARP hardware gives the bottom end that finished performance-engine look while the 12-point heads make working around the oil pan flange easier when space is tight. It's a small detail, but it's exactly the kind of detail a gearhead appreciates when the engine is on the stand and every fastener needs to look as good as the parts it's holding together.

The 434-6902 kit uses polished stainless-steel fasteners and includes washers. ARP's current documentation identifies this part number for Gen III/IV Chevrolet LS-Series blocks. The ARP LS/LT application guide specifically distinguishes 434-6902 from the similar 434-6901 hex-head LS-Series oil pan bolt kit and from the Gen V LT1/LT4 applications.
