I also reccomend changing the wrist pin with the rod since its cheap.
Listen to Russ' advice on the conrod change. I lost a 5 port after conrod blew at around 5.5 gallons. It also didn't help that I broke in my first GO engine on the starter box without using a heatgun, therefore placing high stress on the conrod on the 1st gallon due to the crazy pinch. The good news is that I can do 2 conrod changes for about the price of one RB conrod.
