Mine have 12,000 miles on them, have seen the dragstrip launching at 6000+, autox 3500-5000rpm in 2nd gear, and 20 minute track sessions. No problems at all. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
Ask me about valve springs, that's another story.

What makes using these bolts different than others? Why don't you have to recondition rods?
Every other fastener manufacturer and GM would have you recondition rod, including any engine builder I've ever dealt with.

Because they are an exact duplicate of OEM but with better materials. You can replace them 1 at a time therefore not moving the cap, therefore no requiring rehone.
