Rod bolts fell out!

I’ve reused piles of rods where the bolts were barely snug in the bore(and would come out with a very light tap).

Never an issue.



On the other hand, I’ve often seen poor outcomes from resized rods with aftermarket bolts, where the skill of the person and/or the condition of the equipment doing that job wasn't up to par.


I won’t use those ARP waveloc bolts either. No reason in the world to have that much press fit on the bolt. They distort the rod like crazy.
