Product Details

The ARP 154-6401 is a complete connecting rod bolt kit featuring high-performance Wave-Loc 8740 chrome moly fasteners. Engineered for demanding racing applications, these precision rod bolts deliver superior fatigue strength and reliability compared to OEM and competitor fasteners.

Key Features:

  • 8740 chrome moly construction with tensile strength between 180,000-210,000 psi
  • Wave-Loc design provides precise alignment and interference fit (.001" to .005") for OEM connecting rods
  • Threads rolled after heat-treatment for up to 10 times longer fatigue life
  • Forged in-house using premium quality materials
  • Heat-treated using vertical racks for complete 360-degree penetration
  • Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications

Wave-Loc Technology Benefits:

  • Wave-formed surface contacts rod and cap for optimal alignment and reduced fluctuating stress
  • Superior material grain flow compared to knurled bolts that create stress risers
  • Eliminates galling and scoring with smooth contact surface
  • Accommodates wide range of factory rod bolt hole tolerances

Installation Note: Monitor bolt stretch regularly and replace when permanently elongated by .0005" to maintain optimal performance and safety.

ARP rod bolts are the preferred choice of connecting rod manufacturers and professional racers worldwide, offering proven reliability and performance in high-stress racing environments.

Had the part for my classic car.

Well I haven't really got my order yet but everything was smooth and easy checkping out. Very happy with it thanks so much.

I ordered new leaf springs for my Jeep Cherokee. Its already headed out to me. Ordering was nice and easy. I'll post more once i get it.

Good experience...autoplicity had the most competitive prices for both my jk wrangler daystar dash panel and a smitybilt inclinometer...would have likes shipping to be a little quicker, but overall good

Ordering parts was easy and quick with Autoplicity. They shipped quickly and I had the parts that I needed in no time at all.
