I posted a question on rod bolt stretch guage, and I have gotten a few guys on here who say they bought them and dont use them. I accually didnt plan on using one , but I have a good shinny penny invested in the stroker so I thought id break down and buy one. I accually was going to use Dan aka DRAMs way. He told me on my K1 rods to go incrimently to 40ft/lb a few times, then up to 50ft/lbs, a few times, being carefull not to switch bolts from one hole to another. His theory is to "seat" the threads to each bolt. Then I think I torqued them fianlly to 65ft/lbs with ARP assy lube.
I was going to use this same technique on my Track master rods. Is this wrong? I tend to trust Dan, as he has many many happy customers on here.
Any other sujestions??
Kasey
partly correct. you should alway's "cycle" the rod bolts before final tightening. i don't recall ever telling you to torque them to 65 ft.lbs. especially if they were arp 2000 bolts.

I honestly dont recall either, I was thinking 65 ft/lbs, but that was a couple years ago. Maybee it was 50ft/lbs.
Kasey..
Or maybe even a different spec all together. What bolts do you have? mike

I didnt know that ARP made a 7/16 5000 bolt series. They very well may by now. If so you will need to get the torque and stretch specs from Arp or someone who knows for sure. The specs for my older 7/16 ARP 2000 is 75ft./bs with ARP lube or a Stretch of approx. .0071 There were No specs for OIL as they stated, Never use oil with these bolts. mike

Kasey, I don't know if this will help or not. I have a set of new scat H beams that have ARP bolts that were sent to me by August Cedarstrand a few years ago. They have an ARP marking on the cap,but no particular #. There is a tag attached from August which reads 65 ft lbs and .0054 stretch with ARP lube. Randy
Thanks Randy... That does help, Im concerned that if I do decide to change the bolts will the rods need to be resized. They are new, so in effect the bolts are new. So ne bolts shouldnt bother.

Kasey, if Randy has the bolts with no markings on the cap , more then likely he will have the less stronger non "2000 ARP" bolts. They will have lessor torque and stretch specs. You will definately need to find out what ARP bolts you have before douing any final torque assembly. Let us know when you get these bolts in front of you for review. mike
