> Eh sounds supe sketchy to me. I kno u cant just simply swap rod bolts in these motors because oce you do that it could take the bearing and rod out of round and unbalance the rod. I agree it can be dont but its super sketchy, and would result in a lasting pisspounded or dialy driven motor. Overall will it work, yes but is it wrong…yes, 100%!

Ehh… I wouldn’t call it super sketchy, it works just fine. It’s a cracked -rod so as long as they aren’t overtorqued it isn’t an issue. Sure, you should always resize them, but why would you bother? If you are that deep in the motor, just forge the bitch!
