Hope these are what you are getting -- really good stuff. I replaced my
head bolts, rod bolts and main bearing bolts with their products.

ARPs from Moss I suggest you cancel your order and get them from ARP [or

Subject: Replace Con Rod Bolts?
I installed my crank last night and my pistons tonight. Both jobs went
well
and bearing clearances were all below .0015 or so.
The Bentley manual says to replace the con rod bolts with NEW bolts. I
missed this on my first read of the procedures. I did replace the main
bolts.
Anyway two questions:
1. Is this absolutely necessary?
2. I see these bolts are not standard. They seem to have a sort of pilot
below the hex head. Can I go to the hardware and get grade 8 bolts to
replace them?
Just checked Moss's catalog and these are $3.95 each. The old bolts seem
to
be in good shape. I don't feel like dropping another $50 if I don't have
to.
On the other hand, I will if it's necessary.
Any opinions?
