Engineered specifically for 2011 through 2026 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks powered by the 6.7L Powerstroke V8 turbo diesel engine, the Fluidampr High-Strength Damper Bolt and Friction Washer Kit (Part # 300016) delivers secure, slip-free crankshaft snout retention. In high-output diesel applications utilizing performance tuning, upgraded turbochargers, or heavy commercial work duty cycles, torsional vibration and accessory drive loads subject the crankshaft harmonic balancer to extreme rotational forces.

Factory single-use crank bolts and smooth mating surfaces can experience micro-slippage under rapid engine acceleration and deceleration. This rotational fretting wears down the crankshaft snout and damages the keyway or friction interface. Fluidampr solves this vulnerability by partnering with ARP to supply a specially forged, heat-treated high-tensile crank bolt capable of achieving maximum clamp load without stretching. Furthermore, the kit includes a precision diamond-impregnated friction washer that bites into both the crankshaft snout and damper hub face, dramatically increasing frictional surface contact area to lock the harmonic balancer permanently in position with zero core charge.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Strength ARP Crank Fastener: Manufactured from premium heat-treated alloy steel to provide superior clamp load compared to standard factory torque-to-yield hardware.
• Diamond-Impregnated Friction Washer: Features a microscopic diamond-particle coating that embeds into mating surfaces to eliminate harmonic balancer slip and rotational fretting.
• Protects Crankshaft Snout: Prevents costly crankshaft snout wear and hub walk under severe torsional vibration and aggressive engine braking.
• Precision-Machined Tolerances: Manufactured to exact OE and aftermarket damper dimensions for seamless fitment on factory or viscous dampers.
• Zero Core Charge: Brand-new outright hardware kit requiring no core deposit or core return shipping.

• Crankshaft Preparation Tip: Inspect the crankshaft snout thoroughly for any burrs, scoring, or oil residue before installation. Ensure the diamond friction washer is placed squarely between the crankshaft snout face and the harmonic balancer hub.
• Installation Tip: Apply high-pressure fastener assembly lubricant or clean engine oil to the ARP bolt threads and underhead flange per manufacturer instructions. Torque the crank bolt to specified rotational or torque-angle targets to ensure absolute clamping integrity. Do not reuse factory torque-to-yield crank bolts.
