Look at the bearings, they tell the story. If the mains are clear of dirt scratches so the rods will be also. If you look at some of my engines I explain opening the case to see whats there and the condition as part of doing the top end and studs.
I usually change the intermediate shaft bearings, the chain ramps and all the seals. When I move the bearings I mark them exactly where they go, right and left, 2 through 7. Thats exactly where they go back to after case cleaning.
Rod bolts are holding, why change them but if you are spending the money for the bolts you might as well do the rod bearings..but then why stop there....
