Well, it appears that I have an early LQ9 with the weaker rods...I've been told that the casting numbers to look for that are the stronger rods are 123 and 145...when I looked at my rods I saw 153. Oh yea, block's been sitting so long it's definitely gonna need a hone and some new rings...so much for just slappin' it together

Can anyone confirm these numbers?

I have a set laying around and they all seem to have different numbers. they have the dimples on them though.

You're worrying about nothing. You're never going to push the limits of the stock rods neither are 99.9% of the people out there.
