Putting in ARP rod bolts does require resizing***, at least what the engine builders say.

It's pretty cheap, but then it leads to new rod bearings, unless you're comfortable reusing.

That's a tough debate I have with myself, honestly. I'd think the board would be pretty unanimous with putting in new.

See where this is going?

If it has Nikasil, there is no point in touching the rings or cylinders IMO at that low of mileage.

*** Maybe swapping 1 rod bolt at a time WITHOUT pulling the cap off or loosening the opposing stock rod bolt would NOT require resizing???

Dunno?

Better answered by others as I've never done this but throwing out there you wouldn't loose the concentricity IMO.
