28 ft lbs. You MUST use the ARP moly lube, or anther type of moly lube on the rod bolt threads, to get an accurate torque reading.

THANKS A LOT buddy.
You are 100% positive it is 28ft/lbs ????
Where did you get that info from???
I have the sheet that came with my rods, and it says this
BOLT IDENTIFICATION Torque
7/16" ARP 8740 7/16" bolt head 63ft.lbs
7/16" ARP 2000 7/16" bolt head 75ft.lbs
7/16" ARP L-19 1/2" bolt head 79ft/lbs
3/8" ARP 2000 7/16" bolt head 43ft/lbs
5/16" ARP 2000 3/8" bolt head 28ft./lbs

I know the bolt is 3/8"
My question is, Is it the 3/8" ARP, (on the left, under BOLT)
or is it the 3/8" Bolt head that I see (in the middle colum under identifcation)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)

Its the 5/16" ARP 2000 bolts, if you are using the Eagle rods. My rods came with a product part guide, and it listed the 420A rods as the ones i just mentioned.
