    ok I have the block all broken down… on the three good pistons I pulled out.. I was noticing that the lower part of the connecting rod is “match ground” making each unique to it’s counterpart.  is this normal?

    secondly can you re-use the connecting rod bolts? (1/4 heads 12point/12spline), and does anyone know the torque you would set them to?

    thankx
