What material are these rod bolts made from?

These rod bolts are made from ARP's proprietary 8740 chrome moly steel. This material is heat-treated to provide high tensile strength and resistance to stretching.

Are installation instructions included?

Yes, this kit comes with ARP's recommended torque-to-yield specifications. Following these instructions is important for proper installation and engine reliability.

What is the benefit of rolled threads?

Rolled threads are stronger than cut threads because the material is displaced rather than removed. This also makes them easier to thread during installation, reducing the risk of cross-threading.

Product Details

This kit includes ARP M9 rod bolts, specifically designed for Volkswagen, Audi, FSI, and TFSI engines. When you're rebuilding the bottom end of these popular German engines, especially if you're pushing more power than stock, upgrading your connecting rod bolts is a smart move. The factory bolts can sometimes stretch or fail under increased stress, which can lead to serious engine damage.

ARP has a solid reputation for making strong fasteners, and these rod bolts are no exception. They're made from ARP's proprietary 8740 chrome moly steel, which is heat-treated to give them a high tensile strength. This means they can handle more clamping force and resist stretching better than the original bolts. You'll find that the threads are rolled, not cut, which makes them stronger and easier to thread during installation. This kit is a popular choice for tuners and mechanics looking to ensure the reliability of their FSI or TFSI builds.

When installing these, remember to follow ARP's recommended torque-to-yield specifications, which are included with the kit. Proper installation is key to getting the most out of these well-built components and ensuring your engine stays together under load.
