Hello,

i am rebuilding a zx12r engine.
Should i change the connecting rod bolts or can i keep the old one.

Thanks for advice,

Gerardo

Depends how hard a life the engine has had.
For me as you are spending good money rebuilding it and as on most engines rod bolts are critical, I would replace them as a matter of course.
