You do not recondition LS-1 rods in the normal manner. If changing the bolts causes them to go out of round, you resize the rod to a lrger bore size, and use a special rod bearing sold by Clevite (now Mahle).

I do not encourage people to waste money on rod bolts for fractured powdered metal rods. Just buy a set of rods, even the budget import rods are better than the powdered metal stuff.
