the guy building my motor overtorqued the rod bolts in the eagle rods by 10lbs or so..what would this do....?would it warp the rods?and what would running the engine with the fucked up bolt do.

 

did you plagitgaue it. that would have change the oil clearence

 

Torquing is supposed to stretch the bolts a certain amount. Really good builders will actually measure the length of the bolt before and after installation and tighten them to a certain length. Torquing too high can permanently deform the bolt and make it clamp less than of torqued properly. At the least I would replace the bolts and torque them properly. I would also consider re-checking the bearing clearances. Are these the type that thread the bolt into the rod or have a nut? If threaded, check the threads with a new bolt and make sure they are not damaged. Are you sure he did not screw up anything else?

Running it as is could do nothing or could toss the rods out the bottom. It depends on if the bolts were brought past their deformation limit or not. The possible damage is more expensive and more trouble than fixing it now.

 

actually eagle rods come with a stretch sheet where u can write down how much it has stretched, you can take them apart and check to see what the specs are, or plastigue it. the bolts in the end of eagle rods i believe are arp so it might be ok, plastiguage it and check specs if its ok your prob ok, if not check length of bolts or hell do both at the same time length then plastigu, you can always order more rod bolts, and i doubt with 10lbs the rod is warped, there pretty sturdy.
