2rz Pauter Rods

[671taco]

Anybody know the tq specs for installing the 2rz pauter rods? I know Synergyandy just finished his motor so maybe he can chime in. I'm about to tear down my motor first thing monday and I was wondering if anyone had the tq specs for the rods. I'm guessing it might be OEM specs but I don't know since it is a performance part. I tried emailing Luis, but no answer yet. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Check the bolt diameter,

Technical information about your Pauter Rods

Bolt Torque
ALWAYS oil the threads and underside of bolt head thoroughly before installation!
WARNING!
Never assemble rods without thread lubrication. Incorrect torque figures and/or seized threads will result.
These torque specifications are accurate for engine oil only, moly lubes will not give the same results. After drawing beam and cap together to seat both pieces evenly, torque should be reached in incremental steps of about 10-15 ft/lbs from one bolt to the other.
NEVER torque one side completely while the other is loose.
ARP 2000 bolts
5/16"-24 thread bolts (3/8" socket) = 32 ft/lbs
3/8"-24 thread bolts (7/16"/11mm socket) = 50 ft/lbs
7/16"-20 thread bolts(7/16 or 1/2" socket) = 70 ft/lbs
Stretch method: .0055"

Also dont forget to torque them in 3 steps!
I usually start at 20# first and go from there.
