I have an ARP balancer bolt. It's a little longer and much better quality than the stock bolt. It has been on my car for over a year and hasn't given me any problems. The install procedure is different than the one for the stock bolt. The ARP bolt is not a torque to yield bolt, therefore unlike the stock bolt, it can be reused. Once the balancer is seated using the old stock bolt (torqued to 240 lb-ft), then remove the stock bolt, apply ARP moly lube to the threads and washer surface of the ARP bolt, then install and torque to 196 lb-ft. This torque is also the same if using blue loc tite. If you use SAE 30W oil on the threads, then tighten to a torque of 247 lb-ft. These torque recommendations were told to me by ARP when I installed mine.

Mine loosened up after about a year and allowed my balancer to almost come flying off. Back then, they reccomended it be TQ'd to stock specs. They have since then revised the TQ specs... does me no good, I have a motor that was running great w/ bad bearings now.
