Does anyone have the torque specs for Eagle Part #SIR5700BPLW???

SBC 5.7 rod, pressed pin, ARP capscrew.

Thanks!

Get the specs from ARP...the rod bolt generally dictates torque spec.

Last set of ARP rod bolts I used specified that they be exercised ~3 times or whatever before final torquing, something to watch for if yours require it.

I don't know about the capscrews, but ARP recommends a bolt stretch gage in lieu of torquing their rod bolts. If no stretch gage is available, the aforementioned 3x torquing using their thread lube.

Yup, we couldn't get our stretch gauge into place w/ the I-beam rods we were running...Eagle brand I believe. Too beefy at the I portion.

So we did the recommended torquing procedure, and the engine's been a happy camper w/ 10+ psi of boost on the road course.

Thanks for the replies guys. I got the # from Eagle today and confirmed it on an ARP chart.
