Re: Installing rod bolts!!!
Kind of the same topic but I was thinking about putting some new rings in my ls and either way if I leave it in the car or not what else should I replace? Bearings and if so can I just get stock bearings or will I need to measure and adjust them accordingly, I'm a noob when it comes to these thing but I want to learn how to do them, thanks and sorry for the thread jack

The big end needs resized. If not done, you can burn up the rod bearings, which will destroy yhe rods and rod bolts from the heat, along with wiping out the cranks also. Basically, you can ---- UP YOUR WHOLE GODDAMN MOTOR..........and when you do, we are gonna laugh at you..... ALOT! |

little thin dowel pin that sees tons of load at rpm...............
Yeah, I'd trust it.......... Start playing with BEEFY motors....and you'll see what I mean. 468 BBC, 482 BBC, 502 BBC, then "Ole Henry" 740 with Big Chief heads. Spend $1 to save a penny. |

Re: Installing rod bolts!!!
Rods see mostly vertically load, both compression and stretch. The horizontal loads on rods is very minimal. Those "little" pins are there to center the rod cap. |
