J-Lynch 0 Posted May 28, 2016 Ive had my vr612v rods machined/resized with arp hardware installed to the torque spec. What i really want to do is install them as recommended using the stretch method by measuring elongation. I realise the torque figure is an estimated figure to give desired clamping force and not as accurate as measuring the stretch. Has anyone out there experienced any problems when these are rods are machined and then installed like this. Im probably being ocd, but when it comes to getting this stuff right, I want to be!

seanl82 23 Posted May 28, 2016 I shouldn't imagine it would be as important with ARP rod bolts, as they're re-usable and not the 1 time use like standard, so an estimated clamping force should be more than sufficient with these. I've never heard of anyone having any problems period, when torqueing them up using a reasonably well calibrated torque wrench. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
