The Connecting Rod Bolt is a critical engine fastener that secures the connecting rod cap to the connecting rod, ensuring reliable performance under extreme conditions. Designed to withstand the intense forces of combustion and high RPM, this bolt provides the proper clamping force to keep your engine’s rotating assembly precise and stable.
Connection rod bolts are torque-to-yield fasteners, meaning they stretch slightly when tightened and should not be reused. For this reason, replacing them during an engine rebuild, performance upgrade, or repair is essential to avoid fatigue or failure.

What This Product Does:
The connecting rod bolt is a critical engine fastener used to secure the connecting rod cap to the connecting rod in Porsche engines. These bolts hold the rod bearings in place and ensure the connecting rods remain firmly attached to the crankshaft during operation.
Functions:
- Provides the clamping force to keep the connecting rod and cap tightly secured.
- Withstands extreme stress from combustion, RPM, and load.
- Maintains precise engine clearances for smooth rotation of the crankshaft.
- Helps prevent catastrophic engine failure by keeping the bottom end components locked in place.
While connecting rod bolts are not usually “wear items,” they can stretch, fatigue, or fail over time, especially in high-performance or rebuilt engines.
Signs of trouble include:
- Engine knocking or rattling from the bottom end.
- Loss of oil pressure due to bearing movement.
- Metal shavings in the oil (from bearing or crank damage).
- Catastrophic engine failure if a rod bolt breaks under load.
- During rebuilds: bolts showing stretch beyond spec when measured.
Connecting rod bolts operate under immense pressure and constant stress. Even though they are small components, their role is critical — a single failure can cause severe engine damage. Because these bolts are torque-to-yield fasteners, they are designed to stretch slightly when tightened. This makes them single-use only; once removed, they should always be replaced.
