H-beam connecting rods ARP 2000 bolts
3/8” = 10 mm diameter
1.5” = 38 mm long

I have tried to find out haw to torqued mine ARP 2000 bolts but people have all there one way haw to install them.

So far I have torqued them 30 Nm (22 lb/ft ) no lubrication/oil and measured the clearance (0.05-0.076 mm).

My plan is to tighten them to 40 Nm loosen them and finally tighten them to 50 Nm ( 36 lb/ft) lubricated with ARP stuff.


Haw have you installed your ARP 2000 rods, oil, no oil, Nm, ????

Thanks.

Pauters way with oil: http://pauter.com/parts/technical/rod-info/ Don't tighten them dry.

install them with arp assembly lube to 50ft/lb. Do it three times in order to burnish the thread so the torque reading is a true value. If using a light weight engine oil like 5w30 torque to 60ft/lb three times
