Hi everyone

After closer inspection my engine has indeed spun a rod bearing so conrod is junk. Firstly do I need to replace all four conrods or just the knackered one. Also, when I have the crankshaft reground and polished, are oversize bearings available for this engine? Cheers everyone.

Brickwerks stock *undersize* bearings. Get the crank ground first.
The rods should have weights within a 10g variation, I work to better.
Have all the rods resized with new bolts and little end bushes.
The big problem at the moment is the lack of wbx big end bolts in Europe.

He means late stretch bolts, the interchangable early non stretch type are available and what most people must be using.
