I have rods laying around with bolts and nuts, but they are in WA. Let me know if you don't find one closer.

Ok…I might be ‘wrong’ but ,it’s my knowledge that factory rod bolts are ONE time use… Unless they are ARP or Raceware…. If I’m correct, your new motor will be at time bomb

if what i have read is correct then they will slowly oval over time. but im on a real tight budget so i cant afford the arp ones right now so im just lookin for some good used ones that will torque just fine. just to hold me off until i have enough to upgrade to a FI 2.0
