What material are these rod bolts made from?

These rod bolts are made from ARP2000 material, a heat-treated and tempered alloy known for its high strength. This material provides a tensile strength of 220,000 psi, which is significantly stronger than standard factory bolts.

Are these bolts suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bolts are a significant upgrade, they are particularly beneficial for engines that will experience increased stress, higher RPMs, or more aggressive driving. For a standard, mild rebuild, they offer extra assurance of reliability.

What is included in this kit?

This kit includes the necessary ARP Super Duty rod bolts and corresponding nuts required for installation. It is designed to replace the factory rod bolts on your Pontiac 455 engine.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Pontiac 455 and want to ensure the connecting rods can handle increased stress, ARP's Super Duty rod bolt kit is a solid choice. These bolts are designed to replace the factory bolts, offering a significant upgrade in strength and reliability for performance applications.

ARP uses their proprietary ARP2000 material for these bolts, which is heat-treated and tempered to achieve a tensile strength of 220,000 psi. This is considerably stronger than stock bolts, making them well-suited for engines that see higher RPMs or are subjected to more aggressive driving. The kit includes the necessary bolts and nuts, all manufactured to ARP's strict tolerances for a precise fit. Installing these bolts is a common step when building a performance Pontiac V8, ensuring the connecting rods stay securely attached under demanding conditions.

Remember to follow ARP's recommended torque specifications and lubrication procedures during installation to get the most out of these Super Duty rod bolts.
