Product Description
Questions & Answers
Yes, they are press fit; however, after installing new bolts, you will need to have the rods resized or you will experience premature bearing wear. For around $10 to $12 per rod, most machine shops can resize them.
The price is for 8 rods' worth of bolts, nuts, and torque lube.
This is the entire package.
Selected User Reviews For ARP 1546002 Connecting Rod Bolts
I have no complaints about this product, but it was docked one star because it failed to mention that a stretch gauge is required to maximize the bolts' effectiveness. If you don't have a stretch gauge, it will give you a general torque setting, but I doubt it will be any better than using stock bolts.
On my 1989 Ford F150 302 rebuild, these worked great. You'll need to have the rods checked for roundness, and you might need to have them machined. A local shop charged me $80 for it.
Great.
