Product Details

The ARP 132-6002 is a high-performance connecting rod bolt kit featuring Wave-Loc technology and manufactured from 8740 chrome moly steel. This complete kit provides superior strength and reliability for racing and high-performance engine applications where connecting rod integrity is critical.

Wave-Loc Technology:

  • Patented Wave-Loc surface contacts the rod and cap for optimum alignment and reduced fluctuating stress
  • Provides interference fit range of .001 to .005 inches for all OEM connecting rods, accommodating wide factory tolerances
  • Superior material grain flow compared to knurled bolts that create stress risers
  • Eliminates galling and scoring of the rod with smooth contact surface
  • Strengthens the connecting rod itself by reducing stress concentration

ARP Manufacturing Excellence:

  • Forged in-house using only premium quality materials
  • Heat-treated using special vertical racks to ensure complete 360-degree penetration
  • Threads rolled after heat-treat to provide up to 10 times longer fatigue life than cut threads
  • Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications
  • Each bolt proudly stamped with the ARP name as assurance of quality

8740 Chrome Moly Material:

The 8740 chrome moly steel is a quench and temper steel delivering tensile strengths between 180,000 and 210,000 psi. This material offers excellent toughness with adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications, making it a cost-effective solution that provides the necessary strength plus a safety margin for occasional overloads.

Installation and Maintenance:

It is critically important to monitor the stretch of each bolt during use and replace when it has permanently elongated by .0005 inches. ARP rod bolts demonstrate superior fatigue strength—testing shows up to ten times the fatigue life of competitive fasteners. Stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement are typically not concerns with 8740 chrome moly when proper installation procedures are followed.

Best price online for an Injen intake. Arrived in a week. Appreciated the "Item shipped" email with tracking number!

I ordered a water pump from them and that Amazon was advertising as a Chrome pump. When I discovered it was not chrome, I asked to cancel the order which was prior to shipping notification. I was told by customer service it had already been sent and I would have to wait until the item was sent for a return to be processed. The return was sent back and all money was credited to my account as promised.
