...disqualify a motor from being "stock bottom end"? It seems there is some confusion on this, but I'd like to know! Thanks for any input.

 

I could be wrong but I would say that it would be considered modified at this point.

 

arp rod bolts aren't stock so i would say no

 

Definitly not allowed...ask SUX2BU, who seems to be rather quiet on here lately.

 

Yes it does...IMO. But who the **** cares?

 

i dopnt see why not as they are just added security theres no real modification

 

Forged rods also add security.

 

True the FORGER rods...Modified bottom end--- thats crucial hard parts/components of the bottom end... you can have stock rod Bolts or Heavy duty ones...noone wpuld know the difference..

Some jsut upgrade like i do in order to spin the motor to 7200 where necessary...whle others have safely done this on the stock bottom end. Many will do this upgrade with high mileage.

 

it's no longer a "stock bottom end"

answers itself if any doubts

 

its just a stock bottom end with good rod bolts
