ARP 251-6201 connecting rod bolts are for the Ford Escort RS 2000 (M8) (M8). Replacing them is almost mandatory when opening an engine that will be running higher power, because the stock bolt is the first thing to fail.
ARP recommends installing them by checking the bolt stretch, between 0.0050 and 0.0055 inches, with a reference torque of 25 lb-ft (about 34 Nm) using their lubricant. It is advisable to measure the stretch of each bolt and replace it if it has been permanently stretched by more than one thousandth of an inch.
Follow the torque and tightening sequence in the ARP instructions, which are calculated for their assembly lubricant; with engine oil, the actual torque changes. Are you not sure about your engine version? Send us the code and we will confirm the part number.
