ARP 144-6401 Wave-Loc Connecting Rod Bolt Kit Chrysler 318-360

ARP's Wave-Loc High Performance connecting rod bolts are engineered to withstand the extreme stresses that rod bolts endure during engine operation. Each crankshaft rotation subjects these critical fasteners to alternating tension loads and cyclic bending forces—inferior bolts can fail catastrophically. This complete bolt kit provides the superior clamping force needed to secure your engine's rotating assembly with confidence.

Premium 8740 Chrome Moly Construction:

Manufactured from heat-treated premium grade 8740 alloy chrome moly steel, these bolts deliver tensile strength in the 200,000 psi range—substantially stronger than OEM or Grade 8 hardware. Cycle testing demonstrates ARP rod bolts are nearly five times more reliable than stock fasteners, making them essential insurance against engine failure.

Exclusive Wave-Loc Technology:

What sets these bolts apart is ARP's proprietary Wave-Loc design. Unlike conventional knurled bolts with sharp edges that create dangerous stress risers, Wave-Loc fasteners feature forged waves that provide a secure fit without the stress concentrations that promote premature failure. This innovative approach eliminates a common weak point in traditional knurled designs.

Key Features:

• Complete set includes all bolts needed to upgrade every connecting rod in your engine
• Heat-treated 8740 chrome moly steel rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength
• Wave-Loc forged wave design eliminates stress risers found in knurled bolts
• Nearly five times more reliable than stock bolts in cycle testing
• Designed specifically for Chrysler 318-340-344-360 cid engines with "D" head style

Connecting rod bolts are the most critical fasteners in your engine, literally holding together the entire rotating assembly. Upgrading from factory fasteners to ARP's proven performance bolts is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your engine investment.
