Replacement rod bolts for aftermarket rods are usually not off the shelf parts in many stores and I highly doubt the $40-50 ARP 3S/22R rod bolt kit is for the same application as Eagle rods. They are really meant for when you are replacing the stock bolts for stock rods.
Good luck with the build though, looks like it's coming alone nicely.

Eagle rods suck. Sorry, i dont like things from china. Thats just me. Not knocking Ricksta, i would just rather trust Carrillo with my engine. As for the headgasket i dont use Commetic so I wouldent be able to tell you if it sucked or not. But agreeing with Bill, i only use HKS or TRD headgaskets, thats just me. And Megasquirt is still developing, i like them, maby not for somthing peaking over 400-500hp, but i like it and it's constantly updating and costs 200$. Where as AEM EMS your dropping 1500 on an EMS, a fucking bad ass EMS, but still 1500, not everyones got that bank. User interface is alot more user friendly on AEM EMS and it has a much stronger community (Map sharing). Personaly I run MS2 v3 and i love it. GL with the build.
