I believe ARP will have their own torque procedure, so look at your ARP box or their website? My recollection is that stock rod bolts have a 45 ft-lb torque spec. I usually run mine up to 55. :shock:

When assembling an engine, you should duplicate the torque used to hone (recondition) the rods to began with.

If the shop is getting ready to recondition the con rods, set them at 55 ft lbs. and be sure you write down that number in your notes.

The best way is to use a stretch gage.
