dont kno if this the right place to post this but i am looking for some 3/8 arp custom age 625+rod bolts manley part nummber i believe is #42321 if theres any distributers the can help me with this will appreciatedand

 

I know Pauter rods sells them for their rods, it may be the same what Manley uses on their rods but not really sure. Contact Pauter and ask them, it won't hurt to ask.

 

i get replacement bolts direct from manley, you wont find much discount on them in general.

 

How much do they usually cost through Manley ?

 

i paid about 95$ shipped for a new set of arp2000 3/8 bolts

 

320 for all 8 +625 custom age bolts..

 

got mines from T1 3days later super customer service

 

320$ for 8 little rod bolts, Jesus..

The retarded amount of money we spend to build these wrong wheel drive cars is stupid. We are constantly getting screwed.

I mean honestly I could have built a 1200whp 6l for a lot less than my retard slow sleeved b series that collects dust or breaks transmissions.

 

You tell me about it lol.

 

YEP-

$100K car sitting here under a cover due to a much needed $10,000 transmission :-(

 

are you guys serious 320usd for the custom age bolt for manley?

 

Whats the torque on the ARP 3/8's bolts?
Sorry to thread jack.
I have mine apart and need to know.

 

if im right the final tq should be 45 or 50 if i can remember it right

 

Wow really.
I dont think I did it that much the last time.
Could that have caused the bearings to fail in like 500 miles?

 

You should use stretch instead of torque. It's much more accurate....

 

I torqued my rod bolts to 45 ft lbs three times to get the required stretch. The first time I torqued them they only stretched .002

 

Have you ever checked the calibration of the torque wrench?

 

I dont have the stuff to do the stretch thing.
What is the torque specs.
90 seems like too much

Nevermind I reread the post he said 50 not 90 my bad.
Still I think I did them at 38 or something.

 

Yes I just got it back from calibration actually. I send it out once/year to make sure. This is the reason why stretch is more accurate than torque only. If I would have straight stretched them right off the bat it would have been fine, but I like to make sure I am within the correct torque range also, that way all requirements are met.
