This increases block and hardware life and typically makes the head easier to properly install to the block, a blessing if your head may have to be removed more than once.<P> <B>ARP</B> is the world leader in fastener technology.<BR> Makers of the finest fasteners in the market, especially for BMW engines, ARP is the choice when you want the highest reliability possible.
