Then they are correct. I would almost go from 'recommended' to 'required'.

yes all 2nd hand rods should be at the very minimum closed and honed after new bolts are fitted to ensure big ends are perfectly round and haven't distorted from previous service or the bolt removal and fitting process.

Just to add to that

Also because the new torque required by the ARP bolt can distort the bigend tunnel.

Anywhere from 0.001 to 0.003 difference can be found just by torquing them down to the new figure.

Thanks guys!

How much is it to get them installed?

fit the bolts torque to rec arp tension, measure the tunnel with an inside dial bore guage. if you dont have one a rep shop should measure them and charge zip. sometimes you can pull it off and dont need to close and hone. we always check it that way first, if they are not round in the tunnels from there they will have to be closed and resized. usual cost $30 per rod to resize. basic stuff!!!!!1

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
