ARP 200-6026 Connecting Rod Bolt Kit for Manley Rods

The ARP 200-6026 is a high-performance connecting rod bolt kit designed as a direct replacement for Manley connecting rods. This 2-piece kit includes washers and features ARP's proven 8740 chrome moly construction, delivering the strength and reliability that professional engine builders demand.

Why ARP Rod Bolts Are Superior:

ARP rod bolts are the industry standard for a reason—they offer up to 10 times the fatigue strength of competitor fasteners. The connecting rod bolt has traditionally been the weakest link in the rod assembly, which is why leading manufacturers specify ARP bolts as original equipment. Each bolt is proudly stamped with the ARP name as your assurance of quality.

8740 Chrome Moly Material:

These bolts are manufactured from 8740 chrome moly steel, a quench and temper alloy with tensile strengths between 180,000 and 210,000 psi. While considered moderate strength by modern standards, 8740 chrome moly offers excellent toughness and adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications, making it the most cost-effective solution for engines operating within normal performance parameters.

Manufacturing Excellence:

• Forged in-house at ARP using 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
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications
• Specially engineered for optimum reliability in each application

Wave-Loc Technology Benefits:

• Wave-Loc surface contacts the rod and cap for optimal alignment and reduced fluctuating stress
• Provides interference fit of .001 to .005 inches for all OEM connecting rods
• Superior material grain flow compared to knurled bolts that create stress risers
• Eliminates galling and scoring through smooth contact surfaces
• Accommodates wide range of factory rod bolt hole tolerances

Important Maintenance Note:

Monitor bolt stretch carefully and replace any bolt that has permanently elongated by .0005 inches to maintain peak performance and reliability.
