rod bolts
rod bolts ok im not asking how to do this... i've been reading alot. car is a 98 z28 with tr230/224 cam. my question is are katech rod bolts my best bet? they don't need rod resizing/honing or what.i am going to do it by lowering the k member with engine/trans in car. anytips or secrets yall have? so my major question is are these the right ones... http://store.katechengines.com/conne...bolts-p25.aspx
well i had to have them for this weekend so i went ahead and ordered some katachs. i called and spoke with jason and he told me they changed the torque specs to 35 ftlbs, loosen, 35, loosen and a final pass at 45. hope to have the car running by the end of the weekend
If I was gonna do JUST rod bolts, the katechs are the way to go, However I have read so much bad about it I wouldnt just do the rod bolts. I have heard both sides of the story, I was just never willing to take such a chance, Good luck and I hope yours is one of the good stories.
Despite the higher price tag, I went with the Katech rod bolts. I knew I would rather spend the extra money on a product that wouldn't (at least moreso than other brands) require rehoning the rods.
