Default Rod Bolt Upgrade

I know about the Katech bolts and Lingenfelter sells a set also. Both of these are supposed to be a direct replacement but what about the ARP ones?

Can they be installed in the same manner that the Katech or Lingenfelter bolts are?

Despite what you're about to hear from a LOT of guys, many many MANY people do the ARP bolts just like the other brands and I've never heard of an issue. If someone has, I'd love to hear it since we just put the ARP2000 bolts in my motor.

I put ARP's in my motor w/o resizing the rods and it went well. I already had my motor out and on a stand so I just flipped it over and did them. Make sure you use the thread lube they supply for torqueing the bolts.

I think I may have to give the ARP's a shot.
