We highly recommend using a stretch gauge when installing rod bolts and other fasteners where it is possible to measure the length of the bolt after tightening. It is the most accurate way to determine the correct pre-load in the rod bolt. Simply follow manufacturer’s instructions, or use the chart on page 25 of this catalog for ARP fasteners. Measure the fastener prior to starting, and monitor overall length during installation. When the bolt has stretched the specified amount, the correct preload, or torque, has been applied. We recommend you maintain a chart of all rod bolts, and copy down the length of the fastener prior to and after installation. If there is a permanent increase of .0005Ë in length or more, or if there is deformation, the bolt should be replaced immediately. Don’t chance it! ARP offers a highly accurate stretch gauge with a dial indicator that reads in increments of .0005Ë. Features extra heavy springs for consistent repetition. Comes with a heavy-duty, insulated plastic carrying case for protection. A “must†for any serious engine builder. Product video

In early 1970s, racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel saw his friend break his engine due to failed bolts. At that time there were no better options for a private person. So Holzapfel took the plunge, used his many years of experience in the industry as a subcontractor to the aerospace industry and founded ARP (Automotive Racing Products).
Since then, ARP has grown from a garage in the back, to a leading manufacturer of components used worldwide over. Today, they have 7 premises with a combined area of nearly 19,000 square meters, where they handle forging, heat treatment, milling, quality control and packaging.ARP today has thousands of article numbers and is today a standard in engine construction. You don't talk about upgraded bolts anymore. You say that you have mounted ARP bolts.
