Rod bolt torque with ARP bolts?

[Ed Valvo]

I pulled one rod cap off to check out the bearing on a motor but I don't know what it should be torqued to. Anyone know what ARP recommends? TIA.

50# is the spec from ARP

When the rods were re-sized and installed, what was the torque then? it should be done to that same spec.

Side clearance about 0.007".

Not sure Nick. It's not the engine in my car but one that I might plan to use one day. I just didn't want to guess. Is there a range or just plain ole 50#? Thanks for the responses guys.

50# is the correct ARP's spec. If your engine was machined and assembled by someone that read the directions and had a good torque wrench and you have one too that is the right spec. No range 50#.
