I am having my engine gone through and checking clearances and such and they asked me what the torque spec is on my ARP rod bolts for my Eagle Rods. I don't have my sheet that tells this information. Can anyone let me know what the Eagle Rod bolt torque is for the D Series rods? Is it 65 ft. lbs.?
I have been trying to find Eagle's website but I can't find it. Do they even have one?

Thanks in advance

Torque is based on bolt thickness. What size bolts are in the rod? 65lbs sounds way to high. Crower/Manley is 45lbs and I think those rod bolts are thicker than yours so you would probably be in the 30-40lb range. Check the ARP web site for info on your rod bolts. Do not guess as this is a critical number. Call Eagle.

 

they are 32ft lbs per the ARP torque spec given in the box.

 

65lbs you might be getting confused with head studs.. even the mains on hondas are 48 or os ftlbs

 

That is the thing, I don't know how to get a hold of them.

 

Call Eagle 662-796-7373.


I want to say it was 28ft/lbs but its been a while.

 

Thanks a bunch!!! I called Eagle and the torque is 28 ft lbs. Good memory.

Oh, their site is www.eaglerod.com

The guy also stressed on using the moly lube on the threads and on the bottom of the head on the bolt. Just thought I would pass along.
Thanks again!!

Also, I am getting ready to purchase my ARP headstuds. When installing them into the block, what should the torque be? What does everyone recommend as far as head bolt torque (Head to block squeeze)? Again, this is for a D16Z motor.

Thanks.

just looked at there site

whats the difference between there extreme duty rods and std now...

Extreme Duty" H-beam connecting rods

 

I noticed that too. Interesting.

 

You guys are torqueing rod bolts? Shouldn't you be tightening them by strech?

My headstuds are torqued to 100ftlbs lower/110ftlbs upper, donno how that could help you since mine are probly twice the diameter .

 

I hope someone should shed somelight on this if this is true then they should be able to hold morw pwr on some eagles that are way cheaper than the other rods out there

 

extreme duty rods have stronger ARP bolts.

 

for 599 upgraded eagle vs 399 std Eagle thats it cant be just the bolts not worth it if thats the case.

i always thought the std bolts that came with eagle rods were rather small.....

 

they are small but that doesnt justify 200 price increase i could have bought the upgrade bolts as well.

 

any idea how much they are from ARP?
arent the upgraded bolts the ones above ARP2000 spec?

 

yup they are only 88 buck upgrade from arp over STD

 

88 per bolt? or 11 each?

so whats the price of regular, 2000 and whatever the next one was?

 

11 each not too bad.. the std ones i sought replacement wer 6 bucks each so cant be that bad.. bolt a bolt arp makes the best
