Find the markings on the top of the rod bolts and call Carrillo's tech
people. Actually, hang on a sec....

I'd torque to the value set in the chart, not the stock number.
Carrillo told me the bolts are "good for the life of the rod" - but not
if you over-torque them, I'd imagine.
I just had to answer this question on the Carrillo rods in my Spit and
found this on their web site. Find the markings on the bolt heads and
this chart will tell you the torque.
You might want to ask someone more savvy than I, but I wonder whether
you might want to be sure that your rods were last reconditioned with
the bolts torqued at the same value.

Subject: [Fot] Carrillo TR3-4 rods torquing
Amici ! Currently building a TR3/4 engine with Carrillo rods.
The set came with the stock Carrillo bolts (called by them WMC/H11) and
the
tech sheet says they must be torqued max 40lbs.
While the stock rods and bolts usually are torqued at 60 lbs.
So should I torque the Carrillos at 40 or 60 lbs then ?
Amici, thank you for your very valuable input (as always)!
Cheers
Alex
