I picked up a second supra, it got a bhg. It has a jdm engine in it, but i think im going to rip out the engine and rebuild it. Is it ok to reuse the stock rod bolts? Or should I buy new ones?

i would not suggest re using stock rod bolts, think of them like stock head bolts. They probably stretch. Be safe and spend $60-$100 and get ARP Rod & Main bolts :)

thats what i was thinking.. trying to keep the cost down some though.. In a year or so going to swap it out for a 1jz and give the 7m to my brother to swap in his truck.. So I dont want to be out a whole lot of money.. but i want to get it done so it will last.. im gonna tow my supra w/ it sometimes.. haha
