Its a 33k ls1 short block. The person I bought it from said he bought the motor from buddy and immediately took it to his machine shop and had them install arp 2000 rod bolts but ended up deciding to build a 440 so this motor never got put in. He said shop installed bolts one at a time per instructions,

So my question is should I carry on with my install or pull all rods out and have them checked for out of round. I know the arp r supposed to be checked and I have done a ton of research but I see more people putting them in with no probs than people having problems.

first i would pull the oil pan (if it has one) and see if indeed has ARP bolts on it. now it is up to you, but for insurance, especially since the motor is not installed yet, it couldn't hurt.
