A lot has changed in this time. Rod bolts are a real problem. Bolts we thought were good have caused a lot of engine failures. I started using only the Special rod bolts from US Motorpower (West Bend) but the price has become ridiculous. Everyone is basically out of genuine OEM bolts. Several of us are trying to have a special bolt made but the process is taking forever to try to get a bolt that is correct and cost effective. Beware of what you use. The problems are real.
