Are you doing ARP rodbolts in the car? Thought that was not recommended?

Well then you haven't actually researched it.

Katechs are designed to use near stock torque levels an are therefore less likely to cause this problem.

Pretty sure even ARP says you HAVE TO resize for their bolts.

Wow that was for sure a very interesting read I've never even heard of that issue thank you for the heads up I may actually stay with the stock rod bolts any other advice?
