Default Rod bolts- ARP?

Will they fit in my LM7 (5.3)?

Thunder says Yes.

Texas Speed says they require machining?

Katech's are on back order for 2 months.

TIA, and I did do a search.

Throw them on and run. The LM7/LS1/LS6 (and some others I'm sure) all used the same bolts from the factory and use the same part number for the ARP bolts

What are you going to seal on the threads? They don't prevent anything from leaking. It's a connecting rod.

Are you talking about moly lube?

And if you bought them from us and you don't want them, yes...I'll take them back

Your LQ4 uses the same rod bolts as well. As for head bolts and gaskets, we have them all listed on our website (ARP, GM, Cometic, etc) or feel free to call for more help also!

As far as machining goes, ARP suggests resizing the rods .002" for the new rod bolts. But when I did this about a year ago on a 375 ci iron block I wanted to put together, I couldn't get bearings for them.

Just giving you heads up.
