rod bolt torque question......

[94z6ex]

I have crower rods with crower rod bolts.........they are the steel billet i beams.....

anyway, im building for 300whp, if that matters at all. I was needing to know what to torque the rod bolts to? sotck, or is there a reccomended amount for aftermarkets on high hp apps?

also, besides the rod bolts, is there any other special torque specs to follow other than stock reccomendation on a build like this.....thanks

oh, well right on, its cool. im sure someone will chime in here in a bit with the answer.

thanks for the help though

do you think the crower and arp bolts should be torqued pretty close to the same?

thanks again for the help:TU:

You are supposed to use a rod bolt stretch gauge. It's the best way to determine when the rod bolts are torqued properly.

email crower or look on the website. this isnt something you want to take a guess on.
