Default ARP rod and main bolts

Who has dropped there oil pan and put in arp rod bolts or main studs with out doing any machine work, just pull the stocks and swap in the arp.

I did this and just spun one rod bearing, all others look fine so it might have been a oil problem and not from me doing this.

I thought with main studs you had to have it honed out??

i did both at the same time, all the other rods bearings are good but this one is dry. Maybe i did lose the main next to that rod since i think it feeds oil to that rod.
