Honda/Acura 1.8L M9 rod bolt kit
Applications
Acura 1.8L
Honda 1.8L
Material: ARP2000®
ARP2000®: An exclusive, hybrid-alloy developed to deliver superior strength and better fatigue properties. While 8740 and ARP2000 share similar characteristics – ARP2000 is capable of achieving a clamp load at 220,000 psi. ARP2000 is used widely in short track and drag racing as an up-grade from 8740 chrome moly in both steel and aluminum rods. Stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement are typically not a problem, providing care is taken during installation.
Tensile strength: 220,000 psi
Yield strength: 180,000 psi
Installation Instructions
Part Number: 208-6401
Application: HONDA/ACURA 1.6L & 1.8L 4-CYL (M9)
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]
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.
[3]
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 . 0070 - . 0075 .
[6]
If you do not have a stretch gauge, torque the bolts to
50 ft-lbs (67.8 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.
