I torque mine three times before final set and buy new ones on the next rebuild.
Hi Perry,
If you re-read my post about the rod bolts you will see that is was pertaining to a quote from Mr. Fixit (quote attached). I was not commenting on your particular rod failure experiences.
As I said in my post ARP makes an excellent product. However, anyone who is building a high RPM or high horsepower motor would be foolish not to replace the supplied ARP 8740 bolts with the upgraded ARP L19 bolts.
