I've got a set of new H beam connecting rods for my 850 BUT the cap and ARP bolts project further than stock actually scraping the inside of the crankcase at certain positions. It's been suggested to file the bolt heads to get sufficient clearance...but I don't appreciate the mod, possible loss of strength, nor the extra work on something expected to just be a drop in replacement for stock.
Then there is the possibility that crankshaft flex will make things worse and I have no way of measuring clearance under those conditions.
How to proceed? Return for refund and go with stock? Modify the bolts?
