Controversial Take! Not Every Rod Bolt Upgrade Requires Resizing

In today's video we are upgrading the rod bolts on our 440 to ARP High Performance rod bolts that can handle the RPMs we are turning in our race truck.
Typically, when upgrading rod bolts, conventional wisdom suggests resizing the rod to accommodate the new hardware. However, we're here to challenge that notion and explore an alternative perspective.
Join us as we take a closer look at the big end of the connecting rod, where the rod bolts play a crucial role in maintaining stability and preventing catastrophic failures under high-stress conditions. Throughout the video, we document the process of upgrading rod bolts while carefully monitoring the diameter and roundness of the big end of the rod.
By the end of this video, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the factors involved in rod bolt upgrades and the potential implications of resizing the rod. We encourage you to join the conversation and share your own perspectives in the comments section, as we aim to foster a vibrant community of automotive enthusiasts and experts.
