Why Choose ARP L19 Bolts? ARP L19 material is a premium steel offering superior strength and fatigue properties. With a clamping load reaching 260,000 psi (versus 220,000 psi for ARP2000), L19 bolts are specifically designed for applications where inertia loads exceed ARP2000 capabilities. This strength level is essential for Drift, Rally, Circuit and Drag Racing where engine RPMs and power increases are extreme.

Patented AMPCO 18 Bushing: The big end features a machined bushing in AMPCO 18 copper-aluminum alloy, hot-extruded then precision ground. This patented technology ensures optimal oil film retention with the piston pin, even under high load and elevated temperature.
