[quote="cepx111"][quote="hammertime"]If you ask most motor shops yes they should be resized after installing a different rod bolt then is already in there.
One must remember they are 'trying' to sell work, they make money off your/our paranoia.
I used to work at a machine shop years ago, I wasnt a machinist, just the helper/teardown guy.
Oh boy believe you me I seen a many motor/parts with nothing wrong with them get the works.
Their motto was whenever in doubt machine it out.

They werent trying to sell me work as it wasnt Nyes it was another big name shop I had a oil pan deal through.
Every shop I know wont even replace them without resizing the rod. It has their name on it and wont take a chance is why I am sure. Like mentioned above if he doing it himself just measure them before and after.
Zip I know lots that replace the 8740s every freshen up and have no issues.
