Building my fresh track motor for my ITE SCCA 944T - Anyone SURE how many lbs. to torque the rod bolts?
Thanks in advance

its 55 ft lbs. or 0.005" total stretch for arp rod bolts, they might be similar to wossner's. Do you happen to know what the width measuremant is of the BIG END of the rod? Somewhere around 1.132 ? Can you check if you have some calipers handy?

You get ARP rod bolts with Wossner rods ( the two that I've been involved with did anyway)

Thank you for your responses - Got thru to Wossner and ARP. I am using ARP bolts. Turns out ARP supplies four different types of bolts with different torques recommended for each type. ARP supplied me with the correct Torque for the bolts I have, so I am set.

If you can get a strain gauge, that is a better, more consistent method.

So are you keeping the answer a secret?

No secret - the bolts I am using need 55lbs. of torque. I do not know what the other types require.
I will try and measure the big end width and post it but I do know we are using ten thousandths clearance between the rods and the crank.
Thanks again.

looking forward to big end measurement post. I am using wossner pistons from racers edge,
