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.

I have rebuilt several motors and I have never resized a set of rods. I know exactly what you are talking about by the ends getting egg shaped, but they do not always do that. I have used stock rods, bolts, and nuts almost every time and never had any trouble. Not trying to pick a fight, just stating my experience.
