Each bolt has to be torqued 4/5 times to a precise torque to stretch the bolt.
The torque settings are included with the bolts, ud just need a diecent / accurate torque wrench (not cheap).
I had velos fit mine, its up to you though.

By the way, ul be gutted when you see how small the bolts are for £70, but since they stop ur engine going bang they're more than worth it.

Take off manifold, drain oil, remove sump cover and away you go. Having said that, rod bolts do a very important job in holding the engine together, so if you're not sure about torque settings etc. I'd leave it to the pros

How hard is it to ARP rod bolts in to a 1.6 or would it be better letting velo's do it for me?
