I never see any posts of people suffering "consequences"... Even 2001+ rod bolt failures are somewhat rare. In fact Ive seen more stories where the small side of the rods fail when aftermarket rod bolts are used.

In those stories of the small side of the rods failing, which aftermarket rod bolts were they using? Not trying to say you are wrong or anything of that matter, just really wondering which ones!
