ARP Connecting Rod Bolt Kit Pro Wave-Loc Series

The ARP Pro Series Wave-Loc connecting rod bolt kit is a high-strength rod bolt upgrade for engine builders. It is designed for street performance, circle track, marine and drag racing engines, including those running superchargers or nitrous oxide. These rod bolts, also called con rod bolts, are a step up from stock OEM fasteners and most aftermarket bolts.

Key Features:

• Wave-Loc design: A symmetrical wave on the shank removes stress risers and helps the bolt contact the rod and cap evenly. This improves alignment and reduces fluctuating stress.
• Interference fit: A precise interference fit helps keep the rod cap aligned and reinforces the connecting rod.
• Reduced galling: The snug fit and improved grain flow help prevent galling or scoring of the rod.
• High-strength materials: Offered in premium alloys such as ARP2000 and 8740 chromoly steel, depending on the part number. ARP2000 bolts are rated at about 220,000 psi tensile strength and can handle more than 12,000 lbs. of clamping force.
• Hardware and lubricant: Many kits include nuts and assembly lubricant, as documented for the specific part number.
• Made in the USA: Each bolt carries the ARP name as a mark of quality.

ARP is known for race-proven fasteners. The Pro Series Wave-Loc line gives builders a dependable way to improve rod bolt strength and reliability in demanding engine builds.
