ARP 114-6002 High Performance Chrome Moly Connecting Rod Bolt Kit - 8740

The ARP 114-6002 is a complete connecting rod bolt kit engineered with ARP's high-performance 8740 chrome moly alloy. These precision fasteners represent the gold standard in connecting rod retention, trusted by rod manufacturers and racers worldwide who demand maximum reliability under extreme loads and high RPM operation.

Key Features:

• 8740 chrome moly construction with tensile strength of 180,000-210,000 psi
• Forged in-house at ARP using premium quality materials for consistent performance
• Threads rolled after heat-treatment to provide up to 10 times longer fatigue strength
• Heat-treated using specialized vertical racks ensuring complete 360-degree penetration
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting tolerances for optimal reliability
• Each bolt proudly stamped with ARP name as assurance of quality

Wave-Loc Technology (Where Applicable):

• Wave-Loc surface contacts rod and cap for superior alignment and reduced stress
• Provides interference fit range of .001 to .005 inches for all OEM connecting rods
• Superior material grain flow compared to knurled bolts with stress risers
• Eliminates galling and scoring through smooth contact design

ARP rod bolts are proven to deliver ten times the fatigue strength of competing fasteners, making them the weak link eliminator in high-performance engine builds. The 8740 chrome moly material offers excellent toughness and adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications when combined with ARP's post-heat-treat thread rolling process. Regular inspection for bolt stretch is recommended—replace any bolt that has permanently elongated by .0005 inches or more.

This complete kit includes all necessary fasteners for your connecting rod application, engineered to handle the loads created by piston and rod weight at high rotational speeds while maintaining proper safety margins.
