Default Change Rod Bolts while in car??????
Is it possible to change out the Rod Bolts while the motor is in the car?

It's not to bad, drop the kmember down and there's quite a bit of room to work with. Just time consuming.

A full day easy for slowass like me. I would rather take my time though and I hope you use Katechs (Whole other shitpot of threads). I have dropped a K-member but never done rod bolts FWIW.....
