Ok. I checked mine after installing the bolts, (2004 and up LS3 rods) and found them to be a slight bit out of round. It was acceptable, but I had the big end opened up anyways to return them to round. But it proved to me that you CANT just throw them in and be 100 percent certian. Keep up the hard work. Awaiting more pics. Eric L
