    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    I would not do it with a bench grinder considering where they are going. You don't want to heat up the bolt at all. I just had my machine shop do it. Since I am moving into my new house soon, I would just use my vertical mill to get the angle of the dangle right. If you put to much heat into...

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    So a final report on the ARP bolts. The heads of the bolts from the Supra definately needed to be machined down to clear. Otherwise things will be uncomfortable close if not hitting the cam shaft. Also, the bolts need to be put into the connecting rod with green thread lock otherwise they...

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    I got the sample Supra bolts from ARP. My machine shop said that they fit good with one exception. They want to mill the head on the ARP bolt to match the chamfer on the stock one. You can see what I mean from the pictures. They believe that the chamfer is there to prevent the bolt head from...

    Well I sent Jay at ARP the picture that Matt posted up here and he offered to send me a pair of the Supra bolts for free to test fit. He really thinks that they should work just fine and well, they are company that specializes in engine bolts. He is really going out of his way to prevent me...

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    The continuing conversation with ARP goes as follows: I sent: Hi Jay, So the wisdom the the Ih8mud.com forum seems to think that the knurl on this is going to be too far off. The bolt that was measured was used and had probably shrunk some in the installation process. The thread for this is...

    So I got this email back from ARP. Hi Joe, I came across a bolt from our inventory that is very similar to your request. The length is approx .035” too short and the “knurl” is .0015” too small, both too close to rule out with test fitting. The PN is 203-6004, set of 12 pieces...

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    I have no clue if it does or not. Have you requested 2f bolts in the past that have had to be special made?

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    Post here if you are going to call or you have called to request them. I just want to keep track of the number of requests just in case ARP balks.

    ARP Connecting Rod Main Bolts

    I just got off the phone with ARP's custom manufacturing department and the guy was a bit shocked that they didn't make any bolts for the 2f engine. I told him that I found it odd too and that I know of a lot of folks that would love to buy ARP bolts for their engine rebuild. I am specifically...
