My machinist has already ground my crank to 10/10, I was going to reuse my stock rod bolts on my 351W football rods, but decided to go ahead with ARP bolts.

I already have my crank bearings, and the crankshaft has already been reground. When he presses the bolts and resizes the rods, will I need to buy new bearings?

In many cases no, you may even find they do not need to be resized....
