ARP B-Series Pressure Plate Bolt Kit B16A B18C B20B B18B - 108-2202

The ARP Honda DOHC Pressure Plate Bolt Kit provides high-strength replacement fasteners for securing a compatible clutch pressure plate, also called a clutch cover, to the flywheel. This nine-bolt kit is commonly cataloged for Honda and Acura B-series DOHC clutch applications using M8 x 1.25 pressure-plate fasteners.

The bolts are manufactured from heat-treated 8740 chromoly steel and rated at 180,000 psi tensile strength. Rolled threads, a black-oxide finish, low-profile hex heads, and the included washers provide an application-focused fastening solution for performance clutch installation and service.

Important: This is a pressure-plate or clutch-cover bolt kit. It does not contain the bolts that secure the flywheel to the crankshaft.

Fitment

Honda and Acura DOHC Applications

ARP catalogs this kit for Honda DOHC applications. It is commonly listed for compatible Honda and Acura B-series DOHC engines using a nine-bolt pressure-plate pattern with M8 x 1.25 threads.

Common vehicle families associated with compatible B-series manual-transmission applications include:

• Acura Integra with a compatible B-series DOHC engine and manual transmission
• Honda Civic Si with a compatible B-series DOHC engine and manual transmission
• Honda Civic del Sol VTEC with a compatible B-series DOHC engine and manual transmission
• Other Honda or Acura vehicles equipped or swapped with a compatible B-series DOHC clutch assembly

Fitment verification is required: Vehicle model and engine family alone are not sufficient to confirm compatibility. Before ordering, verify that the installed flywheel and pressure plate use nine M8 x 1.25 fasteners and that ARP 108-2202 is specified for the exact clutch assembly. Modified vehicles, engine swaps, and aftermarket clutch or flywheel combinations may use different fasteners.

Recommended Use

Recommended when installing or servicing a compatible clutch pressure plate, especially in performance, competition, high-rpm, or engine-swap applications where dependable pressure-plate retention is important.

What’s Included

• 9 ARP hex-head pressure-plate bolts
• 9 hardened washers
• One complete fastener kit for one compatible pressure plate

The clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, alignment tool, and flywheel-to-crankshaft bolts are not included.

Installation

Compare the thread size, bolt length, head clearance, washer arrangement, and available threaded-hole depth with the existing clutch assembly before installation. Make certain the bolts obtain proper thread engagement without bottoming in the flywheel.

Clean and inspect the flywheel threads before assembly. Install the supplied washers and tighten the fasteners gradually in an even, crossing pattern to seat the pressure plate without distortion. Use only the lubricant or thread treatment and torque specification stated in the current ARP instructions for part number 108-2202.

Do not automatically apply the original Honda torque specification to ARP fasteners because bolt material, washer arrangement, and assembly lubricant can affect the required torque. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with clutch service.
