Because material is removed during this process they also need to be re-balanced for use in a high-performance engine.
After buying the bolts and having the machine work done your investment will be very close to the cost of a set of the less-expensive aftermarket rods in most cases.

Ouch! Back to the drawing board on that one aspect.
