ECR

Recommended Posts

Having researched a little I post this for information relating to 2.0XE engines. The 8740 material is ok if using standard rev limits with original Vauxhall rods. The 2000 material is used when steel rods are fitted and increased rev limits are used. I believe this to be correct but check it for yourself before ordering !

ARP 200-6207                        A set of 8 bolts in grade arp2000 material - general replacements for steel rods

ARP 200-6227                        A set of 2 bolts in grade arp2000 material - general replacements for steel rods

ARP209-6003                         A set of 8 bolts in grade Pro Series arp2000 material specific to 2.0xe Vauxhall OE rods

ARP109-6001                         A set of 8 bolts in grade Hi Perf 8740 material specific to 2.0xe Vauxhall OE rods

Main Bearing Bolts

Main bearing cap bolts for most XE engines are 75mm under the head and are part nr:  90234048

Main bearing cap bolts for the very late XE engines are 65mm under the head possibly because these engines are using Ecotech main bearing caps.? This needs verifying though .... 

The part number for the shorter (65mm) bolts is 90502412
