Default conrod bolts?
Im in the process of rebuilding my bottom end 2wd cossie all i want to know is should i just use standard big end bolts? or arp ones?

ARP's

they are not expensive so it would be silly not to upgrade

ARP ones easy choice as made to a QUALITY standard NOT a PRICE standard.
Some say they are better as they are "ROLLED THREADS", but so are all!!
