Press Fit - Rod Bolt Installation
[1]
Please check the part-number(s) for your application
against the part-number(s) listed on the instruction sheet.
[2]
Due to inconsistencies with the spot face on the factory
rod cap, the nuts may interfere with the radius on the cap.
ARP recommends resurfacing the spot face on the
factory rod cap so the nuts will sit flat on the cap surface.
[3]
Make sure there is an adequate chamfer around the top
of the connecting rod bolt hole to clear the radius under
the head of the bolt. Then press the bolts into the
connecting rods and install the rod caps.
[4]
Use ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant
to lubricate the threads of the bolt and the nut face. Then
install the nuts onto the bolts and tighten them hand tight.
[5]
ARP recommends using the STRETCH METHOD when
tightening the bolts. Following the instructions for using a
stretch gauge, Stretch the bolts to . 0060 - . 0065 .
[6]
If you do not have a stretch gauge, torque the bolts to
80 ft-lbs (108.5 Nm) using ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener
Assembly Lubricant.
[7]
The connecting rods should always be re-sized after new
rod bolts are installed.
[8]
A log should be kept on the original non-torqued length of
each bolt. Bolts that have any permanent deformation or
have increased in non-torqued length by more than .001
in. should be replaced.
