Bad news as some might know I have a toasted forged conrod that came out of my recent engine. I don't feel comfortable re-using this rod.

The other 4 rods are 100% fine.

The supplier will not separate the kits - so to offset the cost of a new set of 5 - I'd like to sell the 4 good ones.

From what I've read the rods in both engines B4235T3 & B4194T4 are the same dimensions? 139.5mm long?

My project thread explores the demise in its full glory - but for those who didn't know I threw a shell on number 2 cylinder. the big end of that rod got jolly hot

I have to get it forensically checked but I think it's going on the wall or in the bin.
