ARP Pontiac V8 55-62 rod bolt kit

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Pontiac V8 from 1955-1962, ARP's 190-6002 rod bolt kit is a solid choice. These bolts are designed to handle more stress than the original equipment, giving you added confidence when you're pushing your engine a bit harder. ARP is well-known for making strong fasteners, and these rod bolts are no exception.

This kit includes the necessary bolts to replace the stock ones on your connecting rods. They are made from a strong, heat-treated alloy steel that offers improved tensile strength. This means they are less likely to stretch or fail under high RPMs or increased cylinder pressures, which is crucial for engine longevity. ARP includes their special lube with the kit, which is important for proper installation and to ensure the bolts achieve the correct clamping force without galling.
