ARP Connecting Rod Bolts for B18A and B18B Engines
Upgrade the factory connecting rod hardware in a compatible Acura Integra LS B18A or B18B engine with the ARP 208-6001 rod bolt kit.
These M8 connecting rod bolts and nuts are manufactured from heat-treated 8740 chrome-moly steel for dependable strength in stock rebuilds and performance engine applications. The kit includes eight bolts with matching hex nuts, enough to service all four original connecting rods in a four-cylinder engine.
ARP recommends tightening these bolts by measuring fastener stretch whenever possible. The specified stretch range is 0.0050 to 0.0055 inch. When a stretch gauge is unavailable, ARP specifies 26 lb-ft using ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant.
