Eagle Rod Bolt Torque Specs

[Legacy777]

Was wondering if someone can confirm the Eagle rod bolt torque specs.

Thanks

I think I found what I needed. The sheet that came with the rods states that 3/8" ARP 2000 Bolts with 7/16" bolt heads should be torqued to 43 ft-lbs.

The only other ARP 2000 bolts listed on the sheet are for a 5/16" bolt with 3/8" bolt head, and 7/16" bolt with 7/16" bolt head. So that should work.

I was gonna say 43 lb-ft, but it looks like you have that covered.



Next time I build a motor, I getting a micrometer and measuring bolt stretch, which is the most proper way so torque rod bolts.

Yeah I saw that. I don't think my micrometer is long enough to measure the bolt length.

I do need to get a 3/8" torque wrench, which will probably be more accurate on the smaller torque values than the 1/2" torque wrench.
