Guys,
I'm after a bit of technical information regarding conrod bolts. I am sourcing some parts for an engine rebuild at the moment and there are two different size conrod bolts that I can use (there might even be more than two). The two sizes are 9.5mm and 8mm.
Can somebody explain what the difference is all about? Is one size necessarily stronger than the other? For reference, they are both ARP 2000 conrod bolts (200,000psi rating or whatever it is).
Anyway, just keen to get some technical info about them, apparently most people use the 8mm rod bolts, but the place that makes the particular conrods I'm looking at purchasing sells and recommends 9.5mm conrod bolts with their rods.
