Do you tourqe the ARP con rod bolts up the same as the Haynes manual says for stanard type bolts??

It says:

Stage 1: 13LB/Ft
Stage 2, 90 degree turn.

This is for a 2.0 zetec.

Matt.

 

Sorry to hijack your thread, but i have a set of new zetec ARP rod bolts that I don't need any more. Cost Ł82.50 from Burtons but I will let them go for Ł60 if anyone is interested?

 

i dont know if it the same for a zetec as a CVH but the settings for mine were not the same as the haynes manual.

 

 

on my instructions for arp for the cossie bolts

it says do not use manufactures settings only what arp supply which is 80nm

if thats any help m8

 

different on cvh

 

Phone burton as they supply them and should now or ARP themselves will be able to tell you.

 

only go by the ARP ratings AFAIK

Matt you got the piston clips now then ?

 

I thought ARP go by 'stretch' and not torque settings?

here is thier PDF file from thier web site www.arp-bolts.com

Maybe your part number can be cross referenced.

 

Infact they show for a 2.0 zetec with a 9mm rod bolt a torque of 36ft/lb with thier lubricant which has a stretch of 0.0049 inch.

1.8 zetec with a 8mm bolt 26ft/lb and 0.0050 inch. stretch

always use thier lube with thier fasteners
