7/16-20 WMC Rod Bolt (1pc) 1.750 UHL

The 7/16-20 WMC Rod Bolt (1pc) 1.750 UHL by Carrillo Rods is a precision connecting rod fastener engineered for high-performance engine builds where reliability under extreme stress is non-negotiable. This single-piece bolt is designed for use in aftermarket and competition engines where factory fasteners fall short of durability and load-bearing demands. Whether you're assembling a race engine, performance restoration, or building a mill-spec platform that demands OEM-grade component integrity, this rod bolt delivers the consistency that separates marginal builds from championship-caliber powerplants.

Manufactured from high-strength steel with silver paint finish, the 7/16-20 WMC Rod Bolt features a 12-point head design that provides superior engagement and reduced risk of fastener slip during installation and operation. The 1.750-inch underhead length (UHL) specification ensures proper clamping force distribution across the critical connection point between the connecting rod and crankshaft. The 7/16-20 thread pitch delivers optimal preload characteristics while maintaining the precision tolerances required for engine rotation speeds exceeding 7,000+ RPM. Carrillo Rods' manufacturing standards ensure each bolt meets strict dimensional and material property specifications, making this fastener suitable for both street performance and full-competition applications.

This rod bolt serves engine builders, performance shops, and serious enthusiasts who require Carrillo-grade components for small-block and mid-range displacement engines. Installation demands proper torque sequencing and use of a calibrated torque wrench set to manufacturer specifications—improper assembly can compromise engine integrity. The bolt's compact footprint (1.8 x 0.65 x 3.85 inches) and minimal weight (0.09 lbs) ensure zero balance impact while maintaining maximum strength-to-weight ratio. Verify compatibility with your specific connecting rod model and engine platform before ordering, as rod bolt specifications vary significantly across different manufacturers and engine families.
