Im thinkin of buying some ARP Rod Bolts for my B20vtec swap...but what i was wondering is if i would HAVE to buy new rod bearings and piston ring's or i could just use the same ones?? Let me know please.

I know it is proly recomended to change em but im wondering if it would be ok if i didnt

yep, drop the oil pan, girdle and rotate the crank pulley to get to the bottom of each rod. It's a good idea to pick up a bolt stretch gauge for installing ARP rod bolts, along with the right torque wrench :thumb:
