Does anyone know the torque spec for Tomei rod bolts?

I purchased a set of Tomei rods from another member on here and they didn't come with torque specs. Does anyone know what it is or have these rods with a spec sheet sitting around?

Thanks!!

They are ARP 3/8-24 40mm bolts. I would assume the torque specs are similar to the ARP rod bolts that come with Eagles, GTM rods, etc.

Spoke to Sam at GTM and Sharif. Looks like the standard ARP bolts are ~43 ft-lbs and the ARP 2000's are ~46-47ft-lbs. Those numbers are using the ARP moly lube.

can you use a rod bolt stretch gauge on those rods? That is the best way to install rod bolts.

I'm not sure. They are the standard ARP bolts, not the ARP 2000's.

I imagine you could use bolt stretch. In fact I am pretty sure the instructions say you HAVE to if you dont use the ARP lube they include. At least this is the case with my eagle rods.
