I've got a set of Katech rod bolts here and I want to install them before spraying the motor in the next month or so. I do have access to a lift, and I'm hoping I can do the swap with the engine in the car. I do still have the stock K-member.

How did you go about installing your rod bolts?

Thanks in advance guys!

I am not sure if it is listed on www.installuniversity.com or not, but I know that you can take out the K-Member and pull the pan without pulling the engine when you replace them.

BTW: how much do you plan on spraying and what method? Direct or Wet?

I didn't see any information at Install University. Hopefully some guys will have first hand accounts of the process...TNT 150 or 200, wet...

hmmm, I know I have seen a write-up around here somewhere in the last few months. I bet really all you need is tq specs.

The torque specs come with the bolts, I'm looking for a first hand account as far as keeping the engine in the car for the install. I'll look for that writeup.

you can do it with the engine in the car if that was your ultimate question about it.

Actually, my "ultimate question" is HOW? Hopefully another member will respond with useful information.
