Default couple of Katech rod bolts questions

I am looking to install rod bolts in my lq4 before I install it in my car.
I am guessing the rod bolts are the same for a lq4 and a ls1 right?
Can the rod bolts just be installed even if the rod caps have been pulled off 1 at a time to inspect the bearings?
What sponcers offer the Katech rod bolts? Who has the best deal on them?

Bump for you, cause Id like to know if the lq4's even require a stronger rod bolt if you plan on spinning it 65-6800rpm.

The rod bolts can be replaced after inspecting the bearings as long as the bearings are seated in the rod cap tightly and haven't shifted during inspection. Not sure about if they are the same size etc, ur best bet would be to call Katech and ask Jason. I don't see why they wouldn't fit, u could pop out and old bolt and compare.

Same for LQ4 and LS1

Yes. Install the rod bolts one at a time.

I don't think anybody has them right now except for us. The price is $199.99
