ARP questions
What all does it take to swap ARPs in? Someone told me you have to get your rods checked I thought it was just a take out the old, and put in the new. Also, what is the difference between the performance rod bolts, and the pro rod bolts, and lastly what is the max safe rpm I could turn with the ARP's.

That is only for SBC rods, not the LS1 style cracked rods. Just remove the bolts one at a time an use ARP's torque procedure. I dont believe there is much difference in the HP and Pro bolts but I got the Pros as they are the only ones Futral keeps in stock. Once you change the rod bolts, you valve train will be the determining factor on your max rpm.

Yeah! I bought the arp rod bolts and someone told me that you had to get the rods checked, and I did not put them on. Dam! I wish I had the right info at the right time. I still have them in my garage. They are now for sale $50 part#arp134-6006. In the summit catalog they are the High performance ones $70. I'll take $50 for them, brand new still sealed in the package.

You might want to search th LS1/LS6 internal section at ls1tech.com...I remember reading about a few guys having problems with the ARP's and the rod caps warping. Some guys have even had to machine the rods for proper fitment I believe. Supposedly, Katech makes direct replacement rod bolts...I've read that all Lingenfelter engines are built with these.

Install one at a time. You torque them three times to like 45 ft/lbs. Very simple. Hardest part is getting the oil pan off and even that's not hard, just time consuming.
That's how I put them in. No problems yet *KNOCK ON WOOD*. BTW I have somewhere around 170K miles on the motor.
