Is that with the motor in or out of the truck? Is it even possible to change the rod bolts with it in the truck?

Good. I didn't want to have to pull the motor if I didn't have to. I'll order some bolts in the next couple weeks and get em in. I appreciate all the help though.

Need ti-retainers?--do we "need" you know what I mean.for a hundred bucks,to allow more rpms,maybe less valvetrian wear.I just left Bill Mitchel racing where I was a dyno tech and part of my job was to install springs 4 motors a day.they never used ti retainers on any of thier motors even the 800hp ones so you can debate this forever.
