I was wondering if it would be safe for me and my mechanic (1 of the few people i trust w/ my car) to drop the oil pan etc
and install some arp rod bolts and some new acl bearings on my crv block for some extra insurance.
OR
is this something that should be left up to a machine shop.

give me any helpful information you have
thanks

 

some 1 has to know something

 

Its always best to mic the crank for proper bearing size so this should be left up to the machine shop we have a good saying though if it aint broke dont fix it......

 

hey when you install rod bolts you have to have the baring holes re-sized and the bolt pressed in. so I dont know how you would install them with out taking the rods out.

 

i thought the rod bolts were bolts not needed to be pressed..

 

they do but while your at it you should have a machine shop shot peen them sence your gonna have to have work done on them anyways.
