ARP Conrod Bolts.

Thanks I've sent them the same info I sent ARP, so we'll see what they say.

Well after months on this due to some problems re some after market bolts I purchased and despite ARP saying their bolts probably wouldn't work on D24T I lashed out and brought a set G60 Corrado bolts so I could double-check and my engine guy said they were fine.......Yes you have to buy two (2) sets but:

ARP 104-6002, VW G60 Corrado bolts appear to be the way to go, as replacement rodbolts on the D24Tic. 8-)

That's good news! Can you post a picture of them fitted to the rod
and a side by side picture of the factory stretch bolts next to ARP's ?

I will post pics but it will be in a couple of weeks.
I initially only ordered one set of ARP bolts (given the cost) and am just about to order a second packet, but when I took them around to my engine guy who double-verified they were OK, I left the rods and bolts with him.
When I get the second set I'II take some pics.

The ARP bolts are now installed in the rods and they have been checked for roundness/ovality etc, I haven't fitted the pistons and rods in the block yet......that's tomorrows job!
