ok i got a rebuild kit with oversized rod bearing(0.030"/0.75mm, oversize main bearing(0.030"/0.75mm), and oversized bore(0.040"/1.00mm). the kit also came with
* Full Overhaul Gasket Set * Pistons and Piston Rings * Freeze Plug Set * Main Bearings * Rod Bearings * Thrust Washers my question is what do i do about the rods because they didnt come with it and what else do i need for the rebuild. |

i would have to disagree, i think it would be best to get aftermarket rods. I always thought the weak point in our engines were the rods.... so my recomendation would be forged rods if u got the caaaassh
