Rod Nuts

[DeathdealerATX]

I have a 90 TSI 6 bolt, Im putting together my block and I cant find the ROD NUT

So my question is can I just go get a new bolt at napa or do I need to find one of the same kind......

Id go with a used OEM one over a NAPA nut. Try your local junkyard. You could also look into using arp's.

I highly recommend getting some ARP rod bolts, they're only $36 for all. I didn't replace the rod bolts in my car when I rebuilt it and after 87 miles they came loose and a rod went through the block. I've been told by a few engine builders that they can only be torqued down so many times, apparently mine were torqued down too many times.
