    Mmmmmmmm, so if you are going to all the trouble of rebuilding the engine why compromise on the quality/standard of the bolts. If the originals appear OK (not stretched, cracked etc) then they could (COULD not SHOULD) be OK.

    Don't be tight, get a set of ARP bolts and do it properly, they aren't expensive. I paid $161 for a set of Ecotec conrod bolts. Better to pay this than to lose a big end.
