5.3 arp rod bolts
it's just easier to use them then torque to yield bolts just tighten them to ARP specs, bottom ends on these LS motors is pretty tough, but TTY is a pain without a really good tool
In my opinion, you''l find more broken/bent stock rod beams than stock rod bolt failures.
In addition, changing to an ARP bolt at a MINIMUM requires you to check the big end for roundness and size. You might be lucky enough to have a few tenths to work with to hone it back to round. After all that work, might as well just get a set of "cheap" rods and start from scratch.
