[2] Make sure that there is an adequate chamfer around the top of the connecting rod bolt hole to clear the radius under the head of the bolt.
[3] Press the bolts into the connecting rods and install the rod caps.
[4] Use ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant to lubricate the threads of the bolt and the nut face. Then install the nuts onto the bolts and tighten them hand tight.
[5] ARP recommends using the STRETCH METHOD when tightening the bolts. Following the instructions for using a stretch gauge, Stretch the bolts to . 0060 - . 0065 .
[6] If you do not have a stretch gauge, torque the bolts to 35 ft-lbs using ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant.
