Should the rods be in the same sequence has before or are they all the same...cause when I sent my rods of the the machine shop for them to press my p30 pistons, I didn't mark them?

your crank is hard to turn now because the new higher torque spec of the arp's are making your rod ends egg shape causing clearances to go way off.

you have to have a machine shop hone your rod ends round again

you can send them the rods. Clearances can remain the same and can be made all the same, sent them to a reputable machine shop; they will have no problems getting it dead on.
