Description
The Yamaha-built Ford SHO V6 is a high-revving DOHC engine with a 7,000-rpm redline - hardware integrity at the flywheel is non-negotiable. Factory flywheel bolts were designed for economy sedan duty, not sustained high-RPM performance driving. This ARP flywheel bolt kit replaces the OEM hardware with aerospace-grade fasteners engineered to handle the demands of clutch upgrades, engine rebuilds, and spirited driving.
ARP's fastener engineers build these bolts from aerospace-grade alloy steel that significantly exceeds OEM material specifications. Each bolt is forged from premium alloy and heat-treated prior to thread rolling, producing a stronger and more fatigue-resistant fastener than standard cut-thread hardware. The 12-point head design provides superior wrench engagement compared to hex-head bolts, reducing the risk of rounding during installation or future service.
The larger-than-stock shank diameter delivers increased clamping strength and improves flywheel register - eliminating potential concentricity issues that can cause vibration and uneven clutch wear. These bolts maintain exact OEM dimensions (10mm x 1mm thread pitch, 30mm length) for direct bolt-in replacement on both the 3.0L and 3.2L SHO V6 engines. Both displacements share the same bellhousing bolt pattern, making this kit compatible across the entire 1989-1995 SHO V6 lineup.
Essential hardware for any flywheel replacement, clutch upgrade, or engine rebuild on Ford Taurus SHO models. Made in the USA and backed by ARP's manufacturer warranty against defects.
