Rod swap/install writeup? Is there a good one? I know it's the worst part of our bottom end, and I have no clue as to how to start this kinda thing. Never touched the bottom end before, unless you count a cam, which I wouldn't.

, familiarize yourself with things, the machine shop will set them up as for checking balance/straightness & any reconditioning if needed, plus installing the bolts & pistons, even though there a new set, they still need to be checked, if its a street car, i would stay away from an aluminum rod, they have less life cycle, just get a good "lighter" forged rod with wave-lock bolts.
