Extensive testing by Katech for GM’s LS1 ASA engines showed the production rod bolt to be the weak link in the stock bottom end in the LS1 engines. Our rod bolt is the best you can get and fits production connecting rods without having to re-hone them to size.

These direct replacement bolts are made from H-11 material for extremely high tensile strength with threads rolled to J-graded specifications.

Price is $153.60/set
