Install steps/Tq sepcs on Eagle rods for B18a/b

I finally got everything to finish the motor and since I bought these used I don't have instructions if there is a tighten down seq. and the tq specs on these. These have the ARP2000 rod bolts also.

So that dude finally sent you those rings?

You speaking of the rod bolts? I would assume there isn't a particular order because there are only 2 bolts, but ---- I've never done it before so I could be wrong.

And after searching I found 2 different torque specs, 28 and 44 ft-lbs. I'd hit up ARP to get the exact one.

I emailed Eagle so I'm just waiting to hear something back. Yeah Blake finally sent me my rings so I can finally put this engine together and sell it easier then selling a half put together engine is kinda an eye sore for people.

the correct way to torque down rod bolts is to use that bolt stretch tool
but i guess if u use enough lube a torque wrench is fine

just called Eagle and they just said tq down to 28lbs and thats it. No step tq'ing. Bottomend is now complete! Hopefully this thing should go faster now.
