Rod Bolt - 7/16 WSBX (1)

The Oliver Rods Rod Bolt - 7/16 WSBX is a precision-engineered connecting rod fastener designed for high-performance engine assembly and maintenance. This single-unit bolt features a robust 12-point head in chromoly construction, delivering the tensile strength and reliability demanded in motorsports, off-road recovery platforms, and tactical vehicle powerplants where engine integrity cannot be compromised.

Measuring 1.4 inches in length with a 7/16-inch diameter, this bolt is engineered to OEM specifications for connecting rod assembly applications. The chromoly material composition provides superior strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance compared to standard steel fasteners, critical for engines subjected to repeated high-load cycles or extreme environmental conditions. The natural finish requires proper lubrication and storage practices to prevent corrosion, particularly in salt-air or high-humidity operational environments.

This fastener is essential for operators, mechanics, and technicians maintaining or rebuilding engines in tactical vehicles, off-road platforms, or specialized motorsports applications. Proper torque specification and installation procedure are critical—connecting rod bolts must be inspected and replaced per manufacturer standards to ensure engine reliability and prevent catastrophic failure during operation. Inventory this bolt individually or as part of comprehensive engine maintenance kits for mission-critical platforms.

The 0.08-pound weight and compact 1.3 x 0.85 x 4-inch profile make this bolt easy to transport and store in toolkits and field maintenance supplies. Oliver Rods fasteners meet stringent OEM specifications and are trusted in heavy-duty engine applications where failure is not an option. Verify compatibility with your specific engine model and connecting rod assembly before installation.
