This is again a roll the dice chance. The factory bolts are tq down. The engine/ bearings are worn to a set pattern, after driving. You pull a bolt loose it takes the load of the bearing. Nothing is giving that the main will set exactly the way it was as untouched stock. it could be in a few miles or 1000 miles, but it is a chance that it will or could spin. It's just the way it is. Again I have seen very few rod bolt failures, but i really don't know what I am talking about 

Another thing I hate is how people put a HP rating on rod bolts. Rod bolts don't hold HP, the keep the piston from smacking the head during the exhaust stroke. Heavier rods/pistons and RPMs are the killer of rod bolts.
