Product Details

The ARP 254-6403 is a complete connecting rod bolt kit featuring ARP2000 material and the advanced Pro Wave-Loc design. This fastener kit delivers superior clamping force and reliability for high-performance racing engines where connecting rod integrity is critical.

ARP2000 Material Advantages:

ARP2000 is a premium alloy steel heat-treated to achieve tensile strength of 220,000 psi, significantly stronger than standard 8740 chrome moly. This material is widely used in short track and drag racing applications for both steel and aluminum connecting rods, providing exceptional strength with resistance to stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement when properly installed.

Wave-Loc Technology:

  • Patented Wave-Loc surface creates optimal contact with rod and cap for superior alignment
  • Reduces fluctuating stress to strengthen the connecting rod assembly
  • Provides interference fit of .001 to .005 inches to accommodate OEM rod bolt hole tolerances
  • Superior material grain flow compared to knurled designs that create stress risers
  • Eliminates galling and scoring through smooth contact surfaces

ARP Manufacturing Excellence:

  • Forged in-house from premium quality materials
  • Heat-treated using vertical racks for complete 360-degree penetration
  • Threads rolled after heat-treat for up to 10 times longer fatigue life
  • Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications
  • Each bolt proudly stamped with ARP name as assurance of quality

ARP rod bolts are proven to deliver ten times the fatigue strength of competitor fasteners, making them the choice of leading connecting rod manufacturers. Monitor bolt stretch regularly and replace when permanent elongation reaches .0005 inches.

No complaints. ordered a BAK Industries Truck Bed Cover BakFlip G2 for my Honda Ridgeline on 1/11/12. Package was shipped on 1/13/12 and arrived 1/18/12, delivered undamaged. <br><br>Autoplicity was cheaper than Amazon by about $40 (after shipping), and I didn't need to compromise on service. I would definately use them again.

Always got the best price.

Best prices on the net! They had everything I needed at one site.

So far so Good !!!
