the sheet i got with my rods said 28 ft lbs. also.but i used a rod bolt stretch gauge in conjunction with my torque wrench.i come to find out not all the rod bolts will torque down the same.

i would like to see this spec sheet that you got with your eagle rods.......cuz I'm looking at mine and it says 28ft/lbs with moly.
3/8" is the 12 point socket you use to tighten the bolts with but the actual bolt/shaft size is 5/16".....so the correct spec is 28ft/lbs with moly lube.
order yourself another set of ARP 2000 rod bolts for those rods and hope to god you didn't mess up the threads......

once you get new bolts,id have the big ends checked again for roundness.torquing down those rod bolts like that could have made the bores out of round a little.

they meant the thread size, not the head size, when measuring the head, so you have a 5/16" bolt
but honestly, commmon sense would tell you not to try and torque such a tiny bolt to 75lbs,
