er34gtt2000jp Posted May 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2013 Hey guys, I'm trying to put my engine together on a bit of a budget and made a serious bonehead move :-/I was using a 73' service manual and forgot that the early rods used smaller bolts..... Long story short I overtorqued them and broke one. Im sure they are all stretched and no longer serviceable. Does anyone have a set of stock 8mm bolts they would like to part with? I should buy a set of ARP bolts but life is on a budget so I was hoping somebody has a good set. Thanks guys!Eric Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/46641-need-a-set-of-8mm-rod-bolts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
er34gtt2000jp Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted May 27, 2013 I guess I should add that I'm willing to pay for them, as long as it's a fair price.
