My eagle 6in h-beam rods came with ARP bolts and I don't know where to find the torque specs for them? Anyone know :confused:

If you have the 8740 bolt, the stretch is .063", and recommended torque is 60ft. However, when I assembled mine it took 72ft lbs to get them to stretch to the desired.
What im saying is get yourself a rod bolt stretch gauge thats the most accurate.

Oops, that's .0063 bolt stretch, right?

Bolt stretch IS the most accurate way to get the correct clamping load.

I called Eagle and they said with the H-Beam rod #CRS6000B3D it comes with the ARP 7/16" capscrew bolts 190,000psi and the torque specs are 63ft lbs with arp lube

Yeah, yeah forgot a 0 that could have been a terrible thing:D
Yes eagle claims this torque spec, but bolts dont always stretch proparly so thats why I use the gauge. however if you use the arp lube when torquing the bolts a majority of the time the bolts will stretch proparly.
