What size are ARP rod bolts?

What size are ARP rod bolts?

Rod Bolts – 7/16˝, 16-piece set

What is the strongest ARP rod bolt?

ARP “Stainless 300” is specially alloyed for durability, and the tensile strength is typically rated at 170,000 to 190,000 psi. ARP’s “Custom 450” alloy has the same tensile strength as the 300 but a higher yield strength.

What is the torque specs for ARP head studs?

ARP Head Studs, Main Studs, Rod Bolts Torque and Stretch Specs

What is the most accurate way to measure bolt tension?

BOLT STRETCH – Bolt stretch is the most accurate method. Regardless of the other factors, and no matter how much actual torque it takes to stretch the fastener to the correct length, it’s not properly torqued until it’s properly stretched.

What happens if you over torque rod bolts?

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.

How do you measure ARP rod bolts?

All ARP connecting rod bolts have a small dimple placed on both ends of the bolt that accurately position the rod bolt gauge pins on the bolt. Next, zero the gauge on the relaxed bolt. Then you carefully tighten the rod bolt until the gauge reads the appropriate stretch amount.

Are ARP bolts worth it?

The precision and extra strength of ARP means the sockets fit better and the metal on the fastener won’t strip. And ARP mean your mill will live longer and have fewer problems than with stock style bolts. It’s worth it. Better, more consistent clamping on head gaskets, rod bolts, etc.

Are studs stronger than bolts?

Main studs Studs provide the ability to obtain much more accurate torque values because the studs don’t twist during tightening as do bolts. Because the studs remain stationary during nut tightening, the studs stretch in one axis alone, providing much more even and accurate clamping forces.

Do you torque ARP head studs?

Do I need to re-torque my head bolts or studs? If you follow the ARP installation instructions, there should be no need to do a re-torque. However, it may be necessary under certain circumstances if the gasket manufacturer’s instructions require it, particularly if a fire ring has been installed.

What should stretch value be on ARP bolt?

Important: if you have an aftermarket connecting rod with an ARP bolt, please use the chart below to contact the rod manufacturer for the stretch/torque value. The calculation of those values is solely up to the rod manufacturer. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

What are the torque specs for ARP bolts?

This is information that you can never find when you need it so here is a table for the ARP Head Studs, Main Studs, and Rod Bolts Torque Specifcations and Stretch Specs. Listed here are the general torque recommendations for most ARP fasteners.

When do you need to replace an ARP bolt?

According to ARP a bolt stretched to .001-inch or more of its original static length has been compromised and must be replaced. This minimal amount of excessive stretch serves to underscore the importance of stretch and the loss of clamping force that occurs beyond the design limit.

What’s the difference between torque and rod bolt stretch?

They know, within a very specific range, exactly how much load is necessary for a given ARP rod bolt to achieve its ideal clamp load. With regard to torque specs, the ARP approach is to establish a torque that will stretch the bolt to 75-percent of the fastener’s yield strength. This is also the rod bolt stretch number.
