Hello I just have a simple question this is for a stock L76 motor can I remove the stock rods and while reusing the stock bearing and bolts ? Can I just reinstall it and torque it to factory specs without taking it to the machine shop although I’ll measure to be sure. Of course I’ll mark the rods and caps accordingly. Thanks in advance

G Atsma

Why would you do so? Just remove and replace the same rods?

Replacing and gaping piston rings

G Atsma

Gotcha. I don't see any problem with what you suggest. As said, keep mated parts together for reassembly.

No issue at all.

But be aware that the factory torque procedure calls for 15 lb-ft + 85 degrees of rotation which requires a torque-angle wrench.

Be sure to use straight oil, NOT assembly or ARP lube.

Thanks for the replies fellas just to be sure bolts/ nuts go on with clean threads correct ?

G Atsma

Well, you want EVERYTHING as clean as is practically possible. Peace of mind really comes into play here. Like ColeGTO says, follow procedure and the patient will make a full and healthy recovery...

I meant as in no thread locker or some kind of assembly lube etc

G Atsma

Right. Just use motor oil, nothing else.
