Connecting rod bolt
I just purchased this Mac 91 engine and it has this style of connecting rod bolt. I think it's a RIBE drive type. Any idea where I can find a socket to fit it?

Re: Connecting rod bolt
Those are 101 rod bolts. I don't know of any sockets for sale. Might try to borrow one from someone close by.

Phil,
Try your local Autozone. Take the motor with you so you get the right fit. If that don't work out track down a Snap-On or Mac dealer.
Good luck and keep us updated on what you find because if you need it chances are others do also.

The bolts are still made so they have to make sockets. It's a straight splined socket.
Try Terry Ives.

I'm looking more at the unusual crankshaft you have in the engine

Steve,
That crank looks like a full circle crank that was ground to clear the stuffer. Should of been the other way around. Doubt it was rubbing the stuffer, would of had the exhaust note of a drum set.

Hi Rob,
Do you know of a company selling the 101 splined rod bolts? Here is a little info on the tools for them. The l-handle and the socket were made by Allen wrench company.
Part # 1620-09 for the 1/4" socket.
Part # ST1620k-09 for the l-handle with the socket on the short end.
Maybe somebody can find a stash using the part numbers.
Go fast and have fun

Re: Connecting rod bolt
you should seriously consider ditching that crank or replacing the outer ring of the circle.
there's a clearly visible crack on the top ring encircling the crank bell..
that's ready to let go and it wouldn't go well for the inside of your motor.
the conn rod bolts have become a problem to get.
several people are shopping prices to find a source that doesn't cost 40 bux each.
