<p class="MsoNormal">Do the TR6/GT6 Carrillos have the same teeny-tiny little rod bolts that the Carrillos for my 1500 Spit do? I think they're 1/4", with a torque spec of something like 18 lb/ft? I just don't like those. Granted, never had one fail, but
I also have been replacing them every once in a while at something like $37 per bolt. You're supposed to inspect them frequently by checking to see whether they have stretched at all, but I've never come up with a really reliable way of comparing the length
of one particular rod bolt upon disassembly against its length at assembly. <br>

The most cost effective thing you can do to your engine is spend a lot of money on a set of Carrillo's!<br>
Mine are about 16 years old.<br>
