ARP High Performance 8740 Rod Bolt Kit | 20R / 22R / 22RE / 22R-TE (1984-95 4Runner / 1979-95 Pickup)

ARP High Performance 8740 Connecting Rod Bolt Kit

For 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner with 22R / 22RE / 22R-TE and 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup with 20R / 22R / 22RE / 22R-TE

Overview

This ARP connecting-rod bolt kit supplies replacement fasteners for the original Toyota rods in 20R, 22R, 22RE and 22R-TE engines. The bolt-and-nut arrangement retains the factory rod architecture for an engine rebuild.

Professional connecting-rod reconditioning and resizing are required with these replacement bolts. This is a fastener set for rebuilding original rods, not a complete connecting-rod assembly.

Key Features

• Heat-treated 8740 chromoly steel bolt construction.
• Threads rolled after heat treatment for fatigue resistance.
• Press-fit bolt design for the original Toyota rod joint.
• Twelve-point nuts matched to the supplied bolts.
• One four-rod engine set covers all eight fastening positions.

Fitment Notes

• Does not fit 3VZ-E V6, L / 2L / 2L-T diesel, or factory A-series connecting rods.
• Not for aftermarket cap-screw connecting rods. Modified rod caps, altered bolt seats, enlarged bolt holes and unidentified replacement rods require build-specific fitment assessment.
• Engine-swapped vehicles depend on the installed engine and connecting rods; chassis year alone does not establish fitment.
