I've resigned to drop the V6 oil pan and replace all the bearings. My understanding is connecting rod bolts are one use and should be replaced. To anyone that's done this, did you reuse or what bolts did you get?
Checked the search function and can't find any threads mentioning replacing con rod bolts.
I can't find a part number anywhere for the bolts. The bolts aren't listed on Rock Auto or ebay. Anyone got a part number?
Better yet, if these are just standard bolts, anyone have a con rod lying around that can tell me the bolt measurements? A picture would also be helpful to see partial threaded vs full length, etc.
I'm trying to get everything ordered in advance.

The rod bolts are reusable......

The ARP bolts seems like overkill for a stock 2.8 setup. Just looking for a factory equivalient. Unfortunately it looks like there's a slightly wider shaft on the bolt above the threading so a standard hardware bolt wouldn't work.

Olejoedad. Did you actually reuse a set with no problemos?
If reused, is there any change to the torque setting due to stretch from being used?

Yes. Torque is the same or add a bit if it makes you feel better.

Thanks. I've got the parts coming next week so I'll dig into it then.
