Anyone got them fitted,do i need to fit them,any alternatives and cheaper?
Info would be good :wink:
thanks
new standard bolts.
they require a stretch gauge setting up and possible resizing using the arps
Got any prices for new O.E ones mate?
no mate i used arp but need the above stuff. bought a stretch gauge had the rods redone extra. then upgrade to steel rods
ARP are good stuff. Got them in my Austin Mini race engine! Pricey tho :D
ARP are a great off the shelf upgrade, not the ultimate, but better than stock and priced well.
Try coordsport or arrows performance direct for cheaper prices.
I ALWAYS resize rods when installing bolts with a higher clamping load as it distorts the big end housing and you can suffer out of round wear.
Resize the rods with the ARP bolts torqued to the specified torque/stretch.
Ideally you want to use a stretch gauge, but many people have done it using a plain old (GOOD) torque wrench.
i,ve one you can borrow snowman
Bloody hell,i suppose it does make sense but i didnt realise the rods would have to be altered again,ive allready had them done once using the factory bolts,i really want to upgrade to stronger ones though so i suppose theyll have to be done again :roll:
