MANLEY H BEAM SERIES

3 "R" SUFFIX - ARP 2000 bolt upgrades
3 H-LITES - Lightweight versions with 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts
3 H-PLUS SERIES FOR SPORT COMPACTS - with ARP 625+ cap screw

Don't be fooled; not all H-BEAMS are created equal. Manley H-BEAMS are not only very "economically" priced, but they are finished to the same exacting tolerances and high quality standards as our Sportsmaster® and Pro Series rods. Final hone size, thread detail, bend and twist - these are attributes we take very seriously. You will find the Manley H-BEAM rods superior to others on the market.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

"H" BEAM STEEL CONNECTING ROD
WITH ARP BOLTS

Forged from 4340 chrome moly steel, fully machined and shot peened, Manley rods are designed for use in today's high performance engines. The following guidelines will insure service and longevity expected of this premium rod.

FITTING IN BLOCK
A minimum of .060" clearance MUST be maintained between the connecting rod and the engine block or camshaft. If clearance problems exist between the connecting rod and engine block, it is highly recommended that the block be clearanced for the rod, not vice-versa, in order to maintain the structural integrity of the rod.

CHECKING CLEARANCES
The following clearances MUST be maintained to insure proper connecting rod performance. The big end housing bore is sized to provide proper "crush"; connecting rod bearing to crankshaft clearance should be set at .002" minimum to .003" maximum during assembly. Side clearances on both rods should be a minimum of .015" to a maximum of .025" per pair. Recommended side clearances for the Ford 4.6L and 5.4L are .010" - .020" and .015" - .025" respectively per pair. (Actual side clearances are subject to variation based on personal preferences of the engine builder.)

The recommended wrist pin clearance is .0008" minimum to .0015" maximum. In some cases, depending upon actual wrist pin diameter, this MAY NOT provide adequate clearance and may require sizing at the time of installation.

FASTENERS PROPER FASTENER INSTALLATION WILL PREVENT ROD FAILURE!!

Ninety percent of all rod failure are due to incorrect fastener installation and/or maintenance.
