AT THE LAST MONENT I WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE ROD BOLTS ON MY 390 PROJECT WITH SOME ARP BOLTS. THE RODS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESIZED. WILL CHANGING THE ROD BOLTS REQUIRE RESIZING AGAIN? HAS NOT BEEN BALANCED YET SO THE WEIGHT DIFFERENCE ON THE ROD BOLTS ( IF ANY ) WILL NOT MATTER AT THIS TIME
Since the rod bolts are a press fit into the upper part of the rod, a difference in diameter of the bolt could make the journal slightly out-of-round. I've always been told that you need to resize AFTER installing new rod bolts.

Me too. I guess I'll keep the rod bolts that are in there. I wanter to try new new boron ARP bolts.
DECIDED TO PLAY IT SAFE AND REPLACE THE ROD BOLTS WITH ARP'S AND HAVE THE RODS CHECKED AND RESIZED. I AM WAITING FOR ANOTHER PISTON FROM VENOLIA. THE FIRST ONE THEY SENT TO ME IN 6 DAYS WHICH IS GREAT SINCE THEY HAD TO CUSTOM MAKE IT. WHILE CLEANING THE REMAING PISTONS I FOUND ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS SOME SKIRT MARKS I DO NOT LIKE SO ANOTHER IS ON THE WAY. THE REST ARE READY TO GO.
