Default well maybe

You may be able to save some money. If the assembly was balanced before you may be able to balance the new parts. That you can do yourself. Some one jump in here! Don't bore the engine larger unless you have to, just more money. If there is no damage to the block and you can just balance the new pistons (should come fairly close as is) you may be able to get away with spending about $400. It may have the ARP bolts already in it! If so, replacing the nuts isn't a bad idea.

I think Fixit was refering to where you cut the cap a bit and rebore the rods for proper bearing fit.

Let the experts chime in on this. I am just throwing out food for thought.
