Hi,

Supposedly, there's a rod bolt available from Catapiller (I think) that's 
a direct fit for TR6 rods. AND they are x-rayed for defects so you know 
they are good.

I don't recall that the TR6 rod bolts are anything that unusual, 3/8" fine 
thread... the shank underthe head is precision fit to the hollow locating 
dowels, that's pretty much it. So, an off the shelf bolt (any grading) 
would probably not work but there are other sources of bolts out there.

FWIW, I did a motor this weekend with the GoodParts replacement rod bolts. 
Very nice. Def. reccommended.

regards,
rml
