Building up a very "INTENSE" engine right now. I had a question for anyone who has upgraded to the L32 rods.
I am upgrading the rod bolts to the ARP bolts. Upon removing the old to install the new before the install, I came across something.
The rod cap has two bolts that are held inplace once unscrewed from the rest of the rod by these two thin metal sleeves that are pressed into the cap. You can get the bolts out two ways,
1. Uscrew the bolt through the sleeve, and thread the new one back through the sleeve.
2. tap out the bolt and along will come the sleeve, install the new bolt with out the sleeve.
Ideas?
I dont imangine the sleeves to do anything major with the rod other than keeping the bolts from falling out once unbolted from the rest of the rod. BUT I am human and can be wrong. Please give me some feed back on this issue I'm faced with.

I can take some pictures if anybody has no idea what I'm talking about.
