Are these usually a direct replacemant for stock rod bolts or is machine work to rods usually needed for these to work? Thanks ahead for any info on this.
Machine shop telling me that it might throw it out of round. Im not trying to mess with all that if that's true. I figured it would just be a direct replacement thing. Wondering if anyone else has ran into those issues before
There is no way bolts could make a rod out of round, if they are over torqued it could possibly happen. But simply changing a fastener will not make a rod out of round.

LOL I wish this was the case but I have a crank that disagree's with you. Arp L19 bolts call ~90ft lbs IIRC put 3 of my stock rods between .003-.004 out of round. The same rod at stock TQ spec was around .001, I didn't believe until i ran the gauge myself.
Ok now that u posted this u need to explain why, if I replace a grade 5 bolt in my frame with a grade 8 at the same torque the frame will bend?
