Default rod bolts and forged pistons

are there and tricks to puting in arp rod bolts? or is it a simple tap out the old and torque in the new?

next question, i only have about 10k on my engine but am thinking about some forged pistons, can i get them in a stock bore and avoid the machine work?

Default Re: rod bolts and forged pistons

anytime you install new rod bolts a very very good idea to have them honed...same with the block, when installing new piston you should get the block honed to insure proper cleanrance...depending on the pistons you buy, like the lunati's that come in the LS1's 382 kit they actually come in .005" oversized and you have to get the block honed inorder to have proper clearance...good luck!
