Big time. They used to be a lot cheaper. |
Re: How about a REAL discussion about LS rod bolts?
if your rebuilding the engine its hard to not use arp rod bolts, i mean they are like upwards of 35 bux... the biggest factor in installing them is resizing the rod but i had that done anyway for my new bearings...
if your NA then chances are your prolly dropping in some higher compression pistons so why not new bearings/arp rod bolts... if your boosted then chances are you want to put in stronger rods/pistons basically eliminating the whole question. i dunno, i mean theres some things to cheap out on but i just dont see the point IF your opening the bottom end anyway... |
Re: How about a REAL discussion about LS rod bolts?
Lots of great discussion!
I just picked up a spare ls longblock a guy owed me yesterday....and i'm thinkin about going lsv with some tt rods (what kind of forged pistons would you guys go with for EDIT: a BUDGET na build?) etc. and have a fun sorta quick dd out of it. |
Re: How about a REAL discussion about LS rod bolts?
for a budget NA build use stock rods arp rod bolts and jdm ITR pistons and ACL race bearings
oh and i have the RS machines 84.5mm ITR pistons, they work really good... |
Re: How about a REAL discussion about LS rod bolts?
how about budget forged?
srp's? or just shell out a tad more and go with cp/wiseco? only the srp's are budget....but i'm still asking. |

Re: How about a REAL discussion about LS rod bolts?
whats wrong with cast? you could spend 200 bux on a set of cast type R clones and keep the stock rods or run forged for 500ish and spend another 250 on rods... hmmmm
