Eagle rod bolt stretch spec.

[4C FED]

I started assembling the bottom end yesterday then ran into a snag. I can't find my sheet for the rod bolt stretch spec.

There used to be a site online that had the sheet & it is gone.
There is one post on here from TurboTony & it says "measure the stretch of the rod bolt, .006 if memory serves".
I want to make sure that is correct before I proceed.
Can someone check their spec. sheet & post up the number.

Secondly, would it be worth it to upgrade to the ARP 2000 series bolts?


Thanks.

I emailed Eagle and this is what I got back. "Those should be stretched to about .006"."

To about .006"? WTF? It would have been nice to have the tolerance included.:rant:

Guess I'll try a good ol' fashion phone call for a change.

Thanks David.

I'm fairly anti-social or so I'm told, so one less phone call is a win in my book.
