Theres nothing wrong with stock connecting rods. If you reuse the rods you HAVE to resize them. The big ends get egged shaped and new bearings will become egg shaped in a few miles.

I agree NEW bolts. But without resized rods/new rods, its a waste of time either way.

So if its cost effective to get new rods with bolts that may be the way to go.
