Goes to condition - I would replace them if I had doubt, but they aren't rod bolts.

I just had to cut the heads off a set on a parts motor because they were chewed up too badly to get out with a socket. I suppose that was why the guy gave it up so cheaply.

Thanks, The short ones look fine.
Only 2 of the long ones were a little rusty looking.
I will chase the holes to clean the threads on the block and just buy the 6 long ones.
They all came out really easy.

It sucks GLM screwed up on the gasket design and it does not look like a very thick gasket.It looked like the old OEM gasket was thicker.
