Default ARP rodbolts query

Ive got them on my rst. Didi what they say in the instructiuons about torquing them up 2 times. had to take one conrod bottom off the other week(2 bolts) then torqued them up again. might be taking them all off to check things. can you use them ie tighten and lossen them this many times??

Im pretty sure theres a tolerance so you should measure them before re-fitting, but it should never be a problem (i.e they shouldn't stretch) unless they havent been torqued by the guidelines

Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

I use ARP rod bolts and I have re-used them 4 times so far.

You need to check the measure ment of them before you reused them,

if they have strenched a certain amount from new, then ARP say they need replacing.

ive also recently bought a set

if i recall , the bolts need to be loosened and retightened three times initially - dunno about after that

they can be reused , but i made a point of measuring each bolt beforehand and writing down an average on the package. If i ever need to loosen them again , i will re measure prior to using them.if they are over a limit as given by ARP , buy new ones

contact them direct , they will reply to your mails - they are very jacked when it comes to customer service

i paid ZAR560.00 for a set , how much your side?
