Default ARP conrod bolts

Hi again.

I'm about to buy conrod bolts and have noticed that there are both 8mm and 9mm available for zetecs.

I've got a 2.0 blacktop out of a focus. Anyone know which bolts I would need? Have looked around on the net and can't see anything conclusive.

Thanks,

Matt

Best thing to do is give burton power a call mate they will be able to advise on what's best and they are competitively priced.

i thought all focus 1.8 and 2.0 engines used 9mm bolts as they are a s3 engine, silvertops s1/s2 zetec engines used 8mm ones IIRC

Just picked up on this thread. I contacted Burtons about the same issue and they inform me that depending on what bolts are fitted you may have to ream the big end caps.....
