Does anyone know the part number for ARP con rod bolts for an X16XE corsa b engine? Only asking because I’m having a nightmare trying to get hold of some. I’ve tried 2 different companies and both have supplied bolts with 8 valve written on the packaging. I’ve removed one of my con rod bolts and it looks nothing like the ones that have been supplied. They know mine is a 16 valve engine but these seem to be the only ones listed. I’ve seen loads of corsa b’s in magazines over the years with ARP con rod bolts listed in the engine specs so I’m sure they must make them. Any help would be appreciated.

I know it says 1.4, but they may share the same dimensions?

I’ve seen those listed but it says M9 thread. Mine are definitely M8. Unless it’s an error but you’d expect it to have been recognized and corrected by now.

How do the originals match up with the ARPs dimensionally?
