Is the cam core 8620 ? Cast ? Or ?
Also missed one of my questions. Why did he andy/or you feel worth to go with 2 different intake lobes ? |

Use a ARP2000 rod bolt. The L19 rod bolt requires careful handling and cannot be exposed to moisture. You can't even touch it with your skin.

Here's a link explaining everything you'd ever want to know about selecting rod bolts:
https://www.speed-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34831 For what you're doing you could even get away with the 8740 bolt/screw that comes standard with your rods and probably save $100. |
From that post on Speed Talk:
ARP 8740 chrome moly “connecting rod” bolt: Yield strength = 180,000 psi Tensile strength = 200,000 psi Cost = $120.00 per set of 16 at Summit Racing Equipment, or about $8.00 each. --------- ARP 2000 “connecting rod” bolt: Yield strength = 180,000 psi Tensile strength = 220,000 psi ARP 2000 rod bolt material has twice the fatigue life of 8740 chrome moly rod bolt material. Cost = $200.00 per set of 16 at Summit Racing Equipment, or about $13.00 each. --------- ARP L19 “connecting rod” bolt: Yield strength = 200,000 psi Tensile strength = 260,000 psi ARP L19 rod bolt material is subject to hydrogen embrittlement, and stress corrosion. It also cannot be exposed to any moisture, including sweat and/or condensation. Cost = $200.00 per set of 16 at Summit Racing Equipment, or about $13.00 each. -- Looking at the L19 description, you can see that exposure to moisture is a problem for the material. Your oil will eventually contain some moisture. It has the capability of becoming a problem. A rod bolt and cap letting lose is never pretty. |
