PMR Swap?

2001 with PMR's and was wondering if I can change them out to forged fairly easy or is it going to be a complete rebuild? Anyone done this yet before they grenaded?

you need to pull the motor to swap them out..IMO it only makes sence to rebuild it...at the very least rebuild the bottom end...

I don't think it's as simple as just swapping rods. Unless things have changed a whole bunch since I used to build my own racing engines the entire assembly will need to be balanced also.

Have you looked in the inspection hole to be sure what you have. I have a 01' and have forged rods. What is your build date?

Pretty sure I did but Can't remember the date. I'm in the sand box at the moment so can't see it. I looked at it a couple years ago and was dissapointed. It was close so maybe I should pull the plug and take a closer look for sure.

It took me bumping the starter 5 times to get it right so I could see the nut. I used a magnifing mirror to look in the hole. I know a regular mirror would make it hard to see in the hole, I tried with one.
