You should probably look at getting Katech rod bolts as they claim They are considerably stronger than stock without distorting the rods thus negating the need to have rods resized . They cost about $200.00 from what I understand . Good luck

if u use ARP bolts u need to have the rods resized. thats y everyone is telling u to look into the katech bolts since resizing is not necessary to use them. u might want to see what your local machine shop charges to resize rods. cost me 40 dollars plus 100 for the ARP 2000 bolts. so it was only 140 compared to the katech 200 dollar bolts.
