I've used them on head bolts for my turbo 4 cylinder application engines, and such, but I guess I just didnt consider it here as being as meaningful and worth the money.
    Kris, you use the ARP bolts because they don't break. Sometime in the nineties OEM rod bolts became more prone to failure, we will only use ARP even for a dead stock 2.0 nowadays.

    Pulled the engine (again) to fix an oil leak caused by a cracked case.

    I told Kris to use stock rod bolts...there, I said it. I've never had a problem and for a street engine, I'm not worried at all. Maybe there was a bad batch at some point?...this could happen with anything. There are guys who say Glyco bearings and Goetze rings are junk too....but until I have to warranty an engine because of them...*shrug*.

    I'd bet money that the '73/'74 RSR didn't have ARP rod bolts...

    I put stuff together on a wood tool bench. The whole assembly was knocking on wood. Good enough for me.
