Part of the proper procedure when it comes to using fasteners is the use of an assembly lubricant to make sure that the unit is being installed and secured as it was designed to be. Guys have used all manner of things over the years from oil, to soap, to various pastes but the reality is that ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant is a product that has been developed and refined to make sure that you get the best performance out of the fasteners you are installing.

This is not just our opinion, there’s engineering research that has been done and it is all laid out in this video. This video is not as much as a sales pitch as it is an educational tool to let you know why this product out performs the rest. Give it a watch and learn for yourself!

Here’s why ARP Ultra-Torque should be on your fasteners! The facts are the facts –

When building an engine for performance, pistons are one of the items that can be pricey and that’s because they are precision machined, made out of different alloys, and are very specific for what you are trying to accomplish. The wrong piston for the job will result in an engine that does not perform to your expectation nor will it live for the expected amount of time as well. In this video, Mahle talks about that and it talks about the specifics of microwelding. We found this pretty fascinating because while we are familiar with guys collapsing ring lands, shattering or straight up melting pistons, we did not have near the knowledge we should have on this subject. Mahle took us to school…you should attend as well!

Finnegan has a jillion cool projects going, but he’s been trying to keep this one a bit of a secret while tickling us all with posts on his new engine build over at ACE. He’s gave us a sneak peak in the last video though and showed off the engine that will power it. This car is more seriously built than anything he’s run before, because this one is aiming to run 6’s at 200 in the quarter during events like Drag Week and Rocky Mountain Race Week.

For an automotive part that is often referred to as super simple and old school tech, there are really a bunch of cool tech going on inside them. I’ve owned lots of carbureted cars, and several that are fuel injected. And while I love my Holley EFI, I still totally dig my Holley carburetors too.

The first video talks about the idle circuits and main circuit functions of a traditional Holley Carburetor, and how to tune them.

In the first season of Polishing Turds on the Real Good At Doin’ Stuff HED YouTube channel there was another small block that got the love and made considerably more power afterwards. In this new season, our pal Cody is getting the Polishing Turds treatment for his 360 cubic inch 23 degree headed small block. It has just over 9:1 compression, and is force fed boost by an F1X ProCharger. This new season of not only interesting to me because it’s Cody, but also because this combo is very similar to our own 400 inch F1X ProCharged small block.
