Hello.

I was looking at the specs wrong/had a stain on the paper and got the torque specs wrong for the boss 302 rods being used in my build. I over torqued them and then backed them off and torqued them again. Then realized I still had it wrong. Question is can I reuse these. I assume not. But I'm also having trouble finding any replacement or upgraded rod bolts for these rods. Can anyone help?

if your using TTY bolts, it would be the safe thing to not reuse them

as to new bolts, call ARP, they don't list a 5.0 rod bold on their website, but I'd think they have something to work

How much did you torque them to vs. the spec?

Rod bolts are TTY as per ford racing tech line - Steve there also believes that the bolts are serviced separately from the rods. That said, the rods are still $22 usd each on tasca. Bolts may be the same $.
