well i finally got my rods done. i had my arp rod bolts installed. i had to go to 2 different shops to get it all done though cause the shop that installed them didnt have a mandrel small enough to resize them. so i had to take them to a different shop like an hour away to get resized. and the shop stretched them to .0075-.0079" as per ARP's specs when they resized them.

its nice and all, but i think there may be a slight problem. the end caps are an absolute BITCH to get off. i seriously have to beat the end caps off. i think this might be a problem when it comes time to build the motor. specifically when plasiguaging. how am i supposed to get them off to check the plasiguage when its installed on the crank? anyone ever run into this?
