Default Arp rod bolts Torque

Looking for the torque setting for a b16a arp rod bolts.
I have searched and found 50 ft-lbs.(also found 43 ft-lbs and 46 ft-lbs)
Standard bolts are 30 ft-lbs seems like a fair jump so just double checking
Thanks Eugene

Why don't you go to ARPs website where all that information is? Did you not get the spec sheet in your package?

Email them, there probably 43 ftlb. Remember there not a simple 'plug and play' item. BIG ENDS MUST BE RESIZED !

The paper on the box from the last B series I did said 45. Use the moly lube for that, and have the big end of the rod bore blueprinted to spec after the bolts have been pressed in.

That is because the bolt is much better and stronger and has a different stretch amount when torqued than an oem bolt.

Make sure you're looking up the correct part number. I had a buddy torque his 3/8" bolts to the 7/16" bolts torque value.
