There is approximately twice the thread engagement over a bolt/nut setup, and MUCH stronger bolts than original. Recondition the rod big ends after installing the upgraded bolts. Ignore the original torque specs, and use a bolt stretch gauge during installation. www.ebay.com/itm/132277630088?www.ebay.com/itm/306708592699?www.ebay.com/itm/334465775872?Jerry
