Yes everytime. You don't need to remove much though. And I use the thickness of a 8" black tie wrap to gauge the clearance between the block and the rod bolt.

I am bumping this thread because I just snagged some eagle rods for my 455.

Mark, would you be kind enough to pop the pictures on here? That way future folks can see what is going on too.

This is across from the existing notch by the pan rail.

It doesn’t take that long if you have the right grinder Etc. and you have to do all eight cylinders, not sure which one that one is.
