ARP 2000-2009 Honda S2000 Rod Bolt Kit
ARP 208-6002 rod bolt kit replaces factory torque-to-yield bolts with high-strength ARP2000 fasteners on Honda S2000 F20C 2.0L and F22C 2.2L engines. Designed for 2000-2009 S2000 models this kit ensures secure rod clamping under extreme stress from boosted track or race applications. Built to handle higher horsepower levels with fatigue resistance that outlasts stock hardware.
Key Features
- ARP2000 Alloy Construction: Forged chromoly steel rated at 220000 psi tensile strength resists stretching and fatigue in high-rpm environments
- Precision-Rolled Threads: Increases thread strength by 130 percent over cut threads for consistent torque and secure engagement
- Application-Specific Dimensions: .200 inch diameter x 1.890 inch length bolts match OEM rod caps with zero clearance issues
- Complete 8-Piece Set: Includes two bolts per connecting rod for all four cylinders enabling full engine rebuild confidence
- Reusable Design: Multiple torque cycles without replacement unlike single-use OEM bolts saving time and cost
Product Notes
- Inspect rods for cracks before installation to ensure engine integrity
- Re-torque bolts after 500 miles or initial heat cycles per ARP guidelines
