to add my experience to the extensive survey of people who have actually done it.

whilst knowing the risk, I have installed ARP rod bolts in two B20VTECs without checking for warpage of the big-end ID...

and after many hundreds of circuit racing laps, I am happy to say there did not appear to be any detrimental effects…

hence, in relation to installing ARP rod bolts without removing and checking the big-ends, I would suggest that you can probably "get away with it", but that is your own risk.
