[QUOTE="JimIII@jdm, post: 15466183, member: 10902"] Your not going to just replace the rods. The engine gets removed, torn down to the shortblock and then stock rods,pistons, crank,etc come out. To rebuild your shortblock you're diamond honing the block .001"-.002" (AL block) depending on the bores. Pistons will have to be ordered to size. As well new rings. The crank gets polished, then the rotating assembly with new rods and pistons gets balanced and assembled with new rod bearings, main bearings, and main hardware. Upgrade your oil pump to one with billet gears. New head gaskets and timing components, then the heads go back on, drop in some JDM Super Stock cams while your at it, time and assemble the long block. Put the covers back on and put the motor back in the car......That is a full build and the right way to approach "replacing your rods" Depending on the parts you use, and labor rates you could spend a few thousand to tens of thousands....it's a slipper slope! We do this sort of thing here often so if you need help or break down for what you want to do let us know. We also offer full rotating kits with Rods, pistons, etc... so you can do this at home.
