Default Rod Bolts...
I searched, didnt see a thread for this...

Can the rod bolts be changed with the motor in the car?

Can the oil pan be fully dropped with the motor in the car?

Ive only owned my c5 for 2 months so i havent dug into it at all, im only used to my camaro.

thanks in advance!

Yes they can. If you support the engine, the sub frame can be dropped and the pan removed. We have do it all the time. Call me if you need some help.
