Could anyone please confirm what the torque settings and procedure should be for ARP rod bolts on standard CVH conrods as i've got myself confused here.

The sheet that came with the bolts reckons 25 ft-lbs but mentions nothing about torqueing and undoing and retorqueing several times, did a search on here and someone else says they should be 23ft-lbs, undone and retorqued 3 times.

Just want to make 100% certain before i go and follow whats on the ARP sheet.

 

when i built my engine all i did was locktight them to 25/30 once then double checked them once i did all of them.

mines been fine....(goes of to find wood )

been given plenty of stick running around 200bhp/200thq

 

22 nm and i was told to do them up and slack them off 3 times using the grease that comes with the arp kit mines done 2 or 3 track days like this an not let up

 

22-25lb and do it 3 times.

 

I always tighten and slacken three times to seat the caps.

 

Excellent, cheers for that guys!
