Rod bolts
This may sound crazy, but I don't want to ventilate my engine.
Can I install ARP rod bolts with the engine in the car? It looks like one might be able to remove the oil pan without pulling the engine.
I'd like to be able to spin up to 6500 or so without worry. I would be installing ported LS6 heads, headers and cam at the same time.
Car is a 99 FRC.

Re: Rod bolts (Heretic)
I talked to ARP and they said that the rods had to be re-sized
I talked to Katech and with their bolts put them in and torque to 50 ft lb.
We pulled the engine to do this work
