Pro Connecting Rod Bolt
To eliminate the chance of rod failure when building your motor, we highly suggest replacing the stock rod bolts. A continuous high rpm, the stock bolts will stretch, and rod bearing or rod failure occurs. These Pro Rod Bolts are the strongest most reliable replacement bolts available. They easily install into stock rods with no modification.
NOTE: Sold as a set of (8). These rod bolts are for stock style connecting rods only. If you have Chrome-moly H-beam rods, then you will need Part #: 1013216 .

Torque Specs: Always use ARP Moly Lube
50 ft. lbs.
Bolt Stretch .0060" - .0065"
To accurately determine the life of a bolt, it is recommended that a log of the bolts original free-standing (un-torqued) length should be kept and recorded upon subsequent tear downs for inspection. The free-standing length should be checked against it’s original length. If there is an increase of .001” or more, or if there is any permanent deformation or galling, the bolt should be replaced. If you do not have a stretch gauge, follow these steps using a Molly assembly lube. After rods are installed into the motor, torque bolts to 50ft-lbs. Loosen the nuts. Torque to 50ft-lbs. again. Loosen the nuts and torque to 50 ft-lbs. a third and final time.
