arp rod bolts need to be counter sunk mate. Mine were already done & then checked before my engine was put in. SBD will have the info you need on there website.

As for the rubber gasket that wont leak. Get one from an 8v & get if from vauxhall

You need a countersink drill bit to countersink them. It's all on the website dude.

found it,ive put them in already but only nipped them (not tight at all) do you think it would be okay to re use em? from looking at the drawing i need to countersink em in just so the flange (if thats the right word lol) sits just inside the countersink?

if they are arp conrod bolts then they can be re-used. I didnt do mine as i've said but from sbd's site it suggests to countersink the bearing cap by 1mm. I'll try finding the pics of mine when they were done.
