I want to change the rod bolts on my new engine. where can I get some

Bernie

Try your nearest VW shop or a machine shop that does VW.

air cooled . net might have em

Brad where do get your new bolts?

ARP. We dont use stock bolts on a complete rebuild.


B

how do I get in touch with ARP

Bernie

Here you go Bern..

http://www.arp-bolts.com/

And the part number. One day I will stock them. 104-6006 is the part number.


B

I got a bag full of new ones w/ a NEW parts lot auction. Got 3 of each size of rear shims, too.

How many do you need, 7 ??

PM me your address...

Thanks Dave e-mail sent

Bernie

Just wanna make sure they are correct...

My PN is the same as the chart below. Right ones ??

BTW, its the bolt, NOT the bushing (see pic)

Dave has stock ones.


B

Yea, and I guess I have NUTS, not BOLTS.

Sorry Bern...

Are the rod bolts required replacement?

Recommended. But not required, according to RIMCO. But, at least use new nuts. Summit Racing has ARP for a lot less than going thru ARP themselves.

Thanks everybody got them at Summet $104.00 delivery in two days.

Bernie

Are the nuts included? They do not appear to be. I also need a set so let me/us know when they arrive.

O.K. More newbie T4 rebuild questions.

My rods check out dimensionally, can I replace the bolts without having to resize the big end?

In addition, are the ARP Bolts anywhere near the same weight as the stockers?

I got my bolts and nuts Summit had them droped shipped from arp. arp will not sell them direct unless your are a distributor. you need to resize the rod ends after you install the new bolts for roundness. Brad does ARP make all the bolts and studs for the type 4 ?

Bernie

Bernie,

I bought my ARP thru-case bolts and ARP head bolts from LN Engineering. He had a special if you bought both sets together.
