arp rod bolts install HELP!!!
i am taking apart my engine and replacing my rod bolds with some arp rod bolts.
arp says something about torqing them to 26 and in the honda book it say 30. i thought it should be aleast factor specs... What if i torqe them to factory specs? Modified by sikcrx80 at 10:49 PM 1/4/2004 |
Re: arp rod bolts install (sikcrx80)
go with ARP's specs. they are ARP's bolts not Honda's. go with the manufacturer's specs with all aftermarket parts not Honda's.

be sure to take it to a machine shop and check the rod, as the arp's can often cause the rod to egg shape because of the increased clamping pressure
|
but arp calls for less torqe then factory 30
so how can it wreck anything? has anybody else done this? |

yes torque them to 26 4 times over you will be fine i recomend having the rod checked as well |
Just finger tighten them brett, they should be go to go then!!!
|
but when i say arp says to torqe them to 26 it is really the stretch process.. or is it?

"out of round" correct. then balance your bottom end rotating asembly for good measures https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif |
well i just wanted to just replace factory rod bolts and this is sounding like alot more work for just changing rod bolts...
i dont know what to do now |
what would happen if i just put ARP rod bolts in and torqed them to factory specs.
how could that make rods egg shaped? |

so u think torqe them to 26 4 times and leave them at 26.
