With all pistons in, our 7/16 ARP 2000 rod bolts are tightened. K1 Technologies gives a spec for torque plus angle (30 ft-lb. + 60 degrees), but recommends the rod bolt stretch method.

Experienced builders will have a feel of when the bolt is nearing proper preload; beginners will require a bit of experimentation. View Related Article
