ARP Ford Pinto 2000cc Inline 4 Rod Bolt Kit

Protect your engine from catastrophic failure with the ARP Connecting Rod Bolt Kit, specifically designed for the Ford 2.0L (2000cc) SOHC “Pinto” inline-four engine. As the most highly stressed fastener in the entire rotating assembly, upgrading to ARP rod bolts is a critical requirement for high-RPM reliability, whether you are building a vintage racer or a high-performance street machine.

Key Features

• Critical Engine Protection: Designed to withstand the immense reciprocating forces that cause standard OEM rod bolts to stretch and fail during spirited driving or competition.
• Premium Material: Forged from proprietary 8740 chrome moly steel and heat-treated to a 200,000 psi tensile strength.
• Enhanced Fatigue Life: Threads are rolled after the heat-treating process, providing significantly higher fatigue strength than standard cut-thread fasteners.
• Precision Manufacturing: Each bolt is centerless ground to ensure it is perfectly concentric, allowing for a more accurate fit and balanced loading across the rod caps.
• Superior Reliability: Provides much higher clamping force and consistency than factory “torque-to-yield” hardware, ensuring your rod bearings stay properly seated.

Technical Specifications

• Engine Application: Ford 2.0L 2000cc SOHC (Pinto / EAO)
