ALL Yamaha models ARP Rod Bolt Set for Molnar Connecting Rods

ARP2000 rod bolt 3/8" x 1.500"

Includes torque spec for Sea-Doo 4TEC watercraft.

Specifically fabricated for Molnar connecting rods (any aftermarket connecting rods can use these rod bolts, but only these rod bolts should be used on Molnar connecting rods). 

ARP2000®: ARP2000 is an steel alloy that can be safely heat treated to a higher level than 8740. While 8740 and ARP2000 share similar characteristics – ARP2000 is capable of achieving a tensile strength of 220,000 psi. Stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement are typically not a problem. 

Set of 8 bolts.

Cap Screw without Washer – Rod Bolt Installation

1)      Make sure there is an adequate chamfer around the bolt hole on the connecting rod cap to clear the radius under the head of the bolt.

2)      Use provided lubricant to lubricate the threads of the bolt and the under head of the bolts. Then install the bolts and tighten them hand tight.

3)      ARP recommends using the STRETCH METHOD when tightening rod bolts. Following the instructions for using a stretch gauge, stretch the bolts to 0.0070 to 0.0075.

4)      If you do not have a stretch gauge, torque the bolts to 60-65 ft-lbs using provided lubricant.

5)      The connecting rods should always be re-sized after new rod bolts are installed.

6)      A log should be kept on the original non-torqued length of each bolt. Bolts that have any permanent deformation or have increased in non-torqued length by more than .001: should be replaced.
