Product Information

Set of 16 connecting rod bolts made from Custom Age 625 Plus

The S65 engine is a race-inspired engine that is capable of tremendous operating speeds. With an 8400 RPM rev limit from the factory, it is a very high-strung engine. The engine is built "tight" from the factory and has become known to have rod bearing issues in which replacing the bearings is required to prevent complete engine failure.

When replacing the rod bearings it is critical to use new hardware when reinstalling the bearing caps. ARP's connecting rod bolt set is made from Custom Age 625 Plus and is specifically engineered for the S65 V8. The material of these bolts has high tensile strength and further improves upon a weak area of the S65 V8 engine.

When installing these ARP fasteners you must use ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant to lubricate the threads of the bolt under the head of the bolt. ARP recommends the stretch method when tightening rod bolts

Please note: While this rod bearing bolt set is a metric thread to match the stock connecting rods the drive size is not metric. You will need a 7/16" 12 point socket to install these bolts without risking damage to the head/drive end of the bolts.

About ARP

They say that to be successful you must identify a need and satisfy it. Back the early 1970s, racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel saw that many of his friends’ broken engines were caused by fastener failure. At the time, there were no commercially available studs and bolts up to the challenge. So Holzapfel called upon his many years of fastener making experience for a leading aerospace subcontractor and founded ARP (Automotive Racing Products).

In the ensuing years, the firm has grown from what was literally a backyard garage workshop into a highly diversified manufacturer with seven operational entities in Southern California with a combined area in excess of 200,000 square feet. These include forging, heat-treating, machining, quality control finishing and packaging/warehousing facilities in Santa Paula and Ventura, California.

Today, ARP’s product line contains thousands of part numbers, and has expanded to include virtually every fastener found in an engine and driveline and throughout the suspension and frame. These range from quality high performance OEM replacement parts to exotic specialty hardware for Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR and NHRA drag racing and marine applications.
