Couple things..like I said earlier its a BUDGET build idk where you got $10k from. This motor may be driven at most 1,000k miles a year just to drive around town and smoke the tires I won't be hitting the high banks of Daytona with this. When I get the block I'm going to crack it open no matter what and at least replace the bearings and buy OEM rod bolts

I wouldn't mind doing the rod upgrade but like I said that would slow down the build. Do those rods work with the stock pistons? And I would also have to get my rotating assembly balanced?

I just feel hesitant about reusing the stock bolts after breaking the motor down the torqueing them back to check clearance them then using for final assembly. I hear you can only torque the factory bolts 3 times? That's why I was leaning to New OEM bolts..what do you think of this?
