Carrillo 3/8in WMC Connecting Rod Bolts- Precision Engineered for High-Performance Builds

The Carrillo 3/8in WMC Connecting Rod Bolts (Part Number: BLT-WMC6), crafted from H11 tool steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 260,000 psi to handle extreme engine stresses in racing and modified applications. These bolts provide consistent clamping force that maintains rod cap alignment under high RPM and boost levels, reducing the risk of failure compared to lower-strength alternatives like ARP 2000 series. Ideal for enthusiasts rebuilding BMW, Porsche, and Audi engines, this single bolt secures one connecting rod with exact fit and repeatable torque values, making it a direct replacement for worn hardware in performance setups.

What's Included in Your Purchase

  • Quantity: 1 x 3/8-24 WMC H6 bolt (underhead length: 1.600 inches)
  • Material: H11 tool steel for corrosion resistance and fatigue durability
  • Head Style: 12-point for easy installation with standard tools
  • Lubricant: Ships with Carrillo-specific bolt lube for accurate stretch measurement during assembly (apply under bolt head and threads)

No additional hardware or tools required everything needed for one rod installation is provided.

Key Specifications and Installation Details

  • Thread Size: 3/8-24 UNF
  • Bolt Stretch: 0.0065 to 0.0075 inches (measure free length before and after assembly)
  • Pre-Torque: 10-18 ft-lb (14-24 Nm)
  • Torque Angle: 70° ± 2° after pre-torque
  • Final Torque: 65-95 ft-lb (88-129 Nm); do not exceed to avoid over-stretching
  • Bolt Weight: Approximately 0.1 lbs (packaged)
  • Shipping Box Dimensions: 0.5" W x 0.5" H x 2" L for compact, efficient delivery

Follow Carrillo's guidelines: Lubricate threads and underhead, hand-tighten cap to beam, then apply torque in stages while monitoring stretch with a micrometer. This method ensures even load distribution across the rod.

Carrillo

CP-Carrillo pistons and connecting rods are manufactured to motorsport tolerances and built for high-power, high-RPM applications. Each component is custom-machined to order, making Carrillo parts a preferred choice for professional engine builders, drag racers, and road racing teams worldwide. Popular Upgrades The most popular Carrillo parts include custom forged connecting rods in H-beam and I-beam configurations for high-boost and high-RPM builds, custom forged pistons with precise compression height tolerances, and matched piston-and-rod sets for complete rotating assembly upgrades on turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated engines. What makes Carrillo connecting rods different? Carrillo rods are made from aerospace-grade steel or billet aluminum and manufactured with tighter tolerances than most production rods. They are rated for significantly higher RPM and load cycles than OEM components, which makes them a standard choice for builds pushing 600 horsepower and be...

Automotive hardware encompasses the fasteners, clips, retainers, and mounting hardware that hold virtually every component on a vehicle in place, from engine bay bolts that endure extreme heat and vibration to interior trim clips that must release cleanly during service without breaking. Quality automotive hardware from brands including ARP, Dorman, and OEM equivalent suppliers provides reliable clamping force and corrosion resistance that cheap hardware does not, reducing the likelihood of seized or stripped fasteners that turn a simple service into a time-consuming repair. For engine and high-stress suspension applications, ARP's heat-treated fasteners provide torque capacity and fatigue resistance that exceed standard hardware grade specifications by a significant margin. For interior, body, and trim applications, OEM-equivalent push pins, clips, and retainers from Dorman provide exact-fit replacements that insert and release correctly without the frustration of incompatible gene...

Individual automotive hardware pieces allow builders, fabricators, and repair technicians to purchase the exact fastener or clip needed for a specific application without purchasing a complete assortment or kit that contains many items that will never be used. From a single M10x1.25 socket head bolt for a caliper bracket to a specific Dorman push pin retainer for a door panel, individual hardware items are the solution for targeted repairs that require an exact match to the factory or application specification. Professional shops stock individual hardware items to avoid the delay of ordering complete kits for single-item needs, and enthusiast builders maintain a selection of critical fasteners for their specific vehicle platform to avoid build interruptions from a single missing bolt or clip. Quality individual hardware from ARP, Dorman, and metric fastener suppliers provides the same reliability as complete kit purchases at the appropriate quantity for each specific need. Popular U...
