Tired of unreliable center main straps? ARP 7/16" ID Chamfer Washers (ARP 200-8530) offer a smarter, stronger solution for reinforcing the main caps on A-series 3-bearing crankshafts.
 
🔧 Why Center Main Straps Fail
In the 1960s, center main straps became popular when tuners pushed A-series engines to higher RPMs. But these straps aren't the perfect solution:
The 3-main bearing crank wasn’t built for sustained high RPMs
Main cap bolt heads often dig into the cap surface
This leads to reduced clamping force and eventual cap movement
Cap movement causes crank instability and potential catastrophic failure
 
 
🛡️ The ARP Solution: Precision Hardened Washers
ARP’s 7/16" ID chamfer washers are:
Made from hardened chrome moly steel
Finished in durable black oxide
Designed to distribute clamping force evenly
Built to prevent bolt head gouging into caps
A cost-effective and mechanically sound alternative to main straps
