Question Got Katech rod bolt torque specs?

Hi,
I have the A2236 Katech rod bolts for LS1 and can’t find the specs and they won't be open until Monday. Do you know the torque & stretch?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
Here are the instructions that come with the rod bolts.

KATECH LS1 ROD BOLT INSTALLATION AND TORQUE SPECS
.. Remove old bolts from connecting rod
.. Apply motor oil to the threads of the Katech rod bolts
.. Thread bolts onto connecting rod and torque to 50 ft/lbs

I would suggest that you torque and then release the bolts several times to seat the bolts to the rods like ARP recommends.
Good luck,
Steve

If I got them from TSP, I would have to pay shipping and would probably come out paying more from them.
