Bottom end question?

Rod bolts and rod bearings can be done by taking the oil pan off and without any machining correct?

If your changing the stock bolts to ARP's the rods need to be resized.If the rod bearings are hurt then so are the mains.

Yes the ARP's have more press fit.They distort the rod slightly and need to be honed round again.
