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!
