And to the OP, if you're just wanting to swap rod bolts and go use the katechs. They are a swap and go replacement. Just make sure to follow the instructions as they are printed.

Well I think you're right to a certain degree. I thought that the LS1 rods aren't able to be re-sized like say SBC rods are because of the bearing choices it leaves you with. But I think they can be trued up if they are only slightly out-of-round.
Maybe someone can shed some light on this? I'm not competely sure.

I know when I had my rods checked out for my new setup the number 6 rod (that coincidentally spun a rod bearing) was tight. He was able to toss it onto a rod hone and open it up and get it where it needed to be. I am building another stock shortblock setup.

Yeah, I knew they couldn't be reconditioned or re-sized a great deal. But as you had done, they can open it up "slightly" with a hone,which is what I was trying to convey, lol I guess it didn't come out quite right. And usually opening up the bore slightly is usually all that's needed with the ARP bolts from what I understand.
