Replacement Rod Bolt Kit 7/16 (2)

The ARP Replacement Rod Bolt Kit 7/16 (Part No. 200-6026) is a precision high-performance connecting rod fastener pair engineered for engine builders and motorsports professionals who demand absolute reliability under extreme cylinder pressures. These chromoly 8740 bolts are the critical foundation of any serious engine build where fastener failure is not an option.

Each bolt measures 1.6 inches in length and features a 7/16-inch diameter, spec'd for maximum clamping force and minimal stretch under load. The natural finish chromoly construction offers superior fatigue strength compared to standard steel, while the included washers distribute load evenly across the rod bore to prevent galling and stress concentration. This two-bolt kit is suitable for both naturally aspirated and forced-induction builds where connecting rod integrity is non-negotiable.

Professional engine builders and high-performance shops specify ARP fasteners because they eliminate variables in the powertrain equation. Whether you're rebuilding after catastrophic failure, upgrading from OEM fasteners on a vintage engine, or assembling a billet short-block for competition, these bolts provide the clamping consistency and material properties required to survive sustained high-RPM operation. The kit includes everything needed for a single rod installation—bolts and washers only; rod and bearing preparation remain your responsibility.
