706 Diesel Rod Bolts

Craig7241 · Jan 24, 2012

I have a broken piston in my 706 w/282. Has 580 hours since major OH. I bought new rod bolts when I OH"d it. Should I buy a new set for this one cylinder that needs a sleeve assembly, or will the old ones re-torque?

If it was me I'd change them. Would hate for something to happen to a fresh engine by skimping on a few bucks worth of bolts.

Dad was an IHmechanic for almost 30 yrs. When we rebuilt any IH engine we always put new rod bolts ,he said they stretched when torqued down. Be safe and replace the bolts.
