In this 3-part video series, V8TV's Kelle Oeste takes an extensive tour of the 9-building ARP manufacturing complex in Southern California to learn all about the technology and processes that make ARP bolts the fasteners of choice in nearly every form of engine powered racing.

i used to make taps and dies and my job was working @1:00 on the center-less grinder , grinding the shank part of the tap to a finish , i was given a 0.005 tolerance i was bored so i kept a 0.002-0.003 thou tolerance over a 2 inch long shank and od was perfect

@vcval That's impressive. We really appreciate what it takes to make precision tools... it's not something you see everyday! Cool to hear you took it a step farther!
