sorry about the noob question but on a eagle rod, if a 13mm sockett fits on the rod bolt hex head what size is the stud/bolt ?

 

need a hand here peeps

 

no help?

 

what engine are those eagle rods for?

13mm socket sounds really strange......eagle uses either 3/8" ot 7/16" ARP bolt heads for honda rods.

3/8" head = 5/16" bolt
7/16" head = 3/8" bolt

unless you have some custom rods or something you have to double check which bolts you got.......try using standard sockets rather than metric.

 

isnt 13mm close to 1/2 inch?

 

yes but thats the bolt size not the stud size

 

aren't they 12pt bolts as well?

 

I don't think the guy who is relaying the info to me knows what he is doing
im gonna have to chk for myself ill keep you guys posted

 

if there is a way to tell bolt size by pics

maybe your confusing the main studs with the rod bolts..........

 

the info was given to me i never touched the block

 

I'm willing to bet money that the guy gave you the wrong info. or maybe you misunderstood him.

the main studs are 1/2" bolt heads (close to 13mm) and the rod bolts are either 3/8" heads or 7/16" heads.

 

i'm pretty sure all the 2000 series bolts are 3/8" heads.

 

not to second guess but is there any one here to confirm this

 

if you're talking about the size of the bolt head that i posted, look on the eagle website.

here's a link

jon:
i just talked to the guy and he said they are the 7/16" i told him to send me a pic with the wrench on it to prove it but if it is 7/16 i think im gonna buy it

 

The 5/16" bolts (with 3/8' head) are the older bolts.The 3/8" bolts (with the 7/16" head) are the newer,stronger bolts.
