Are they the same as S50 items. Just looking into some ARP rod bolts at the moment and have seen some on ebay to suit an S50

I believe they are the same yes, best to check the part numbers though

Are you turboing this M52? If not I really dont see the point

Yes, just added safety factor though. Risk it for 60-70 quid? Where would you rev to on a standard bottom end?

They appear to be different part numbers on the realoem site
