ARP 200-6002 Connecting Rod Bolt Kit for Venolia BRC Aluminum Rods

The ARP 200-6002 is a high-performance connecting rod bolt kit designed as a direct replacement for Venolia and BRC aluminum connecting rods. This 16-piece kit includes bolts and washers, manufactured from ARP's proven 8740 chrome moly alloy to deliver reliable performance in demanding racing applications.

Why ARP Rod Bolts?

The connecting rod bolt has historically been the weak link in any connecting rod assembly. ARP's superior manufacturing processes and material quality have made them the preferred choice of connecting rod manufacturers worldwide. Testing demonstrates that ARP rod bolts deliver up to ten times the fatigue strength of competing fasteners, providing the reliability needed for high-RPM, high-load engine environments.

8740 Chrome Moly Material

These bolts are manufactured from 8740 chrome moly steel, a quench and temper alloy that delivers tensile strengths between 180,000 and 210,000 psi. While considered moderate strength by today's standards, 8740 offers excellent toughness and adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications, making it a cost-effective solution when bolt strength appropriately matches anticipated loads with a proper safety margin.

Key Features:

• Forged in-house at ARP using premium quality materials
• Heat-treated using special vertical racks for complete 360-degree penetration
• Threads rolled after heat-treat to provide up to 10-times longer fatigue life
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications
• Includes washers for proper installation
• 16-piece kit for complete rod assembly

Application Note: Designed specifically for Venolia and BRC aluminum connecting rods. It is critically important to monitor bolt stretch during use and replace any bolt that has permanently elongated by .0005 inch or more.

What's Included:

• 16 connecting rod bolts
• Washers

Each bolt is proudly stamped with the ARP name as your assurance of quality and authenticity. Proper installation with ARP Ultra-Torque assembly lubricant is recommended for optimal performance and accurate torque readings.
