ARP Damper Bolt Question
Do all ARP products, specifically the Damper bolt have ARP stamped somewhere on them? The one I just received today does not, and it was NOT in ARP packaging, but it "should" be an ARP bolt.

Thanks for the picture. I'm pretty sure that they all do, which makes me wonder what I have. Does anyone have one that DIDN'T have ARP stamped on it?

Indeed it is. I just have a hard time thinking it's what it should be with the way it came. If it was in a ARP box it would be easier to accept. It was in a regular parts box wrapped in paper with advertisements printed on it.

Mine was on cardboard shrink wrapped, but it did say ARP on the cardboard.

I'll do that if I don't get clarification from the seller.

I confused. You have a 12 point bolt that has no ARP markings. Other forum members have confirmed their ARP bolts are so marked.
Shouldn't your first call be to ARP?

Yes it probably should be. But considering the vendor went above and beyond to get me this particular bolt, i'm giving him the time to figure out what it is. The purpose for this thread was for me to see that it should in fact be marked by ARP.

I may have a photo of the bolt prior to installation if that helps.

Here is what the OEM package looks like - and yes the ARP is stamped on the head of the bolt.

Yep, that's what I thought. I'm pretty sure what I have isn't ARP. Thanks again guys.
