All - anybody know if any machining needs doing to fit ARP rod bolts into a pinto? - I think I've read it is needed for Zetecs?

I think i heard the the same about the Pinto head bolts but not the Rod bolts however its always worth giving Burtonpower.com a ring

from what I can see in the ARP catalogue (download from ARP's site) they look like direct replacements, but I guess someone at burton power will know

but I have to ask why you want to fit them ?
the standard rods themself arn't that strong and are supposed to fail about 1" bellow the gudgeon pin rather than the bolts failing (according to Des Hammill's book at least)

<<< my solution is in my avitar - forged rods
cheap S/h from a cossie - but they are 0.060" longer so pistons where an issue and they need some kind of oil spray jet (like the ones on a cossie pickup pipe)

If you look carefully you can see the rad. That photo is taken from the back of the block where it meets the sump.
