Well if your that confused the thing i could compare it to would be using a condom,you dont want to use it but you do it for safety

I am not sure if this has been discussed, but why is the rod bolts considered to be the weakest part of the rod assembly. Why would you assume that the rod would not bend or fail at some other point? Just wanted to know why the rods were not being replaced first. If the actual rod was not strong enough to handle the tensile forces at higher rpms than stronger bolts will not help.
Thanks
