Also important, of course, is to rebuild the rods with ARP bolts and have the rods re-sized after installing the bolts. A spun rod bearing can distort the shape of the cap and make it impossile to correctly re-size the rod. If you don't take this step and you rebuild the motor assuming the rod was fine, you'll be doing it again on Memorial day, and then we will certainly NEVER hear the end of it and those 37 opinions will seem like chicken feed.

Also ... any time you want to bring that noogie hammer out here to the west coast, you just be my guest.
