This guide is for automotive technicians and performance engine builders who need to ensure consistent fastener preload. The ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant provides incredible anti-seize characteristics and significantly reduces preload scatter, allowing fasteners to be torqued accurately on the first cycle. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it is optimized for specific high-performance applications rather than general-purpose use.

Preload scatter refers to the variation in clamping force (preload) achieved when tightening fasteners due to inconsistent friction between the threads and under the fastener head. This scatter can cause uneven stress on engine components, leading to distortion and sealing issues.
While highly effective, this lubricant is specifically designed for high-performance automotive applications where precise preload is critical. For general automotive or industrial use, a different lubricant might be more appropriate, though it would work.
Apply a thin, uniform coat to the threads and under the head of the fastener. Excessive amounts are not necessary and can lead to over-torquing or contamination.
No, it is designed to enhance torque accuracy and prevent seizing without compromising the mechanical integrity of the fastener itself.
Yes, it contains extreme pressure lubricants designed to perform under demanding conditions found in high-performance engines.
Once applied and torqued, the lubricant provides consistent friction characteristics for subsequent cycles within the same assembly process. Its anti-seize properties also offer long-term protection against corrosion and seizing.
Engine oil has inconsistent frictional properties that lead to preload scatter. ARP Ultra-Torque is a specialized blend with predictable friction designed specifically to minimize preload scatter and provide superior anti-seize protection.
Ensure the lubricant was applied evenly to all thread surfaces and the underside of the fastener head. Verify that the torque wrench is properly calibrated and that the correct torque specification is being used. Check for thread damage or debris in the receiving threads.
Ensure the cap is securely tightened after each use. Store the tube in a cool, dry environment. If minor drying occurs, you may be able to stir it to restore consistency, but if significantly hardened, consider replacing the product.
Use a small brush or applicator tip to ensure thorough coverage on intricate threads. A penetrating oil (used sparingly) can sometimes help if the lubricant is thick.
Setup: Apply a thin, even coat of ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant to the threads of the fastener and the underside of the bolt head or nut before installation. Ensure complete coverage on the bearing surfaces.
Compatibility: This lubricant is specifically formulated for threaded fasteners in high-performance automotive applications, particularly where precise and consistent preload is required (e.g., engine block bolts, head studs, main bearing caps). It is compatible with ARP fasteners and other premium quality hardware.
Care: Store the lubricant in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap tightly sealed to prevent contamination and drying. Clean any excess lubricant from tools and surrounding areas with a clean rag.
