Denny,in no way did I mean that negative or offensive. What I was saying was that you had the no-how that I was looking for and knew the steps/procedure needed thus knew the right questions I should ask.

[QUOTE=DennyW]I didn't take it in a neg way. I was just joking around.

Well,,,ok,,,cause you did read my user name didn't you? I did mention they say I'm paranoid didn't I?
As a matter of fact,would you believe that I stomped out of that football stadium Saturday,their crazy if they think I'm going to set there and watch 11 grown men do me like that! Right there in front of all those people,,,huddling around in the middle of that field and talking about me like a dog! Paranoid nothing!

I would imagine the majority of all used rods are egg shaped, and should be resized. Seems like cheap insurance to me... Resized rods are cheap compared to the price of Oil Pan Failure when it fails to contain all the broke pieces!!!!!

well that is all good and fine if you think you can get lucky and swap out the bolts ?you still have to spot face the caps for the arp flange nuts .this is last time i take the time to post any of may fine photos on how to do any thing on here
