5.9L Magnum build with questions

If you plan on reusing the factory rod bolts then i guess that would be the way to go. Most guys opp for arp hardware at that point and new rods are almost the same price by the time you recon the rods and buy hardware.

What did the icons run you with the needed pin if you dont mind me asking?

Apparently the stock 3/8” rod bolts don’t have issues like in other engines with smaller rod bolts. But yes you are correct. If I were to upgrade to ARP rod bolts, then I’d be paying to resize the rods and at that point, I’d upgrade to the Scat rods for sure. The Icon forged pistons with upgraded pins and rings were $750. I’d knock $100 off that just because I’d have to buy new rings anyway.
