I've seen those bolts over stretch at 53 Ft. Lbs. on one bolt and seen others in the same batch of rods take 83 Ft. lbs. to get in the middle of from .0057 to .0062 stretch.
Which ARP bolts are you going to use?
Do one at a time and record the torque needed to get the stretch where you want it and keep it fo rlater on if your planning on looking at the rad bearings so you can retorque them back to exactly what they needed to stretch properly.
Do not use the torque plus so many more degrees of rotation to tighten them down tsk twocents


Thanks for responding mr cab . They are 8740 arp
