ARP rod bolt question/concern
I just had a fairly valid point brought up to me by someone. I put ARP rod bolts in my new motor in lieu of Parish's luck on his LQ4. But, somebody had told me that putting in the higher tensile strength rod bolts will acutally mis-shape the rod caps. Is there any truth to that? I hope this question doesnt come off in a bad way. Just wanted some internal engine savvy guys to chime in here.

huh? internal section on LS1Tech has mucho info on this.
plenty have used the ARP with no ill effects, was just giving you an option designed to be a direct swap

I saw alot about resizing rod caps but nothing that really pertained to the bolts. It says you can do that on a SBC but not on an LS1. It also said that the resizing didnt have to be done when the ARP High Performance bolts were utilized. Guess Im gonna do a bit more searching.
My motors gonna blow up now. Sweet.
