Why replace rod bolts

Rod bolts take huge loads at high rpm. Factory connecting rods are used in everything from stock rebuilds to boosted and high-revving engines, and the ARP Honda M8 Rod Bolts kit gives them a stronger fastener than the stock part.

Material and strength

The ARP Honda M8 Rod Bolts kit is made from premium 8740 chrome moly steel, heat-treated to a tensile strength in the 200,000 psi range, well above the factory bolts. ARP cycle testing shows its High Performance rod bolts to be nearly five times more reliable than stock bolts.

Fitting

Rod bolts are fitted with the engine apart. Rod bolts are measured by stretch, so follow the kit instructions for the stretch or torque figure and use ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant. Rods often need resizing after new bolts are fitted, so have the big ends checked by an engine builder before fitting the ARP Honda M8 Rod Bolts kit.
