Ultra-Torque
Automotive Racing Products' (ARP) Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant is the new standard for fastener installation on performance diesel engines. According to ARP, Ultra-Torque gets you within 5 percent of your target pre-load on the first pull and stays consistent with each subsequent torque cycle. In addition, Ultra-Torque is 100 percent metal-free and allows for a higher physical property melting point, better corrosion prevention, and improved wear resistance. It also eliminates galling and seizing on fastener threads.
