Default Rod Bolts ???

is the ARP part # 234-6301 the correct bolts for the 6.0 rods? What is all involved with changing the rod bolts?

Thanks
Danny

Check with ARP to make sure you don't have to do any tapping or boring for those to fit your rods. Also, find out if you are or are not supposed to tap out the shims in your stock rod bolt holes. I ordered mine from Kaetech. Tapped the shims out, lubed the bolts and torqued them to 50 lb/ft, done.

I bought mine directly from Katech on Ebay actually. You can order them directly from them or I've heard of one member buying them from a sponser but I couldn't comfirm who.
