just make sure you fit the big end bearings properly, or you join the long list of people with spun bearings

(this has nothing to do with these rods, just a general observation)

The main problem is in our engines they have no location tabs so a lot of people just fit them how ever on another note I would also check your crank for wear and get the correct size bearing

They are down to £200 delivered now.

They should fit but check them carefully as I've had them before where they are too wide to clear the bottom of the bore and too wide to fit in the piston.

If you number each rod and bearing cap on just one side BEFORE removing the caps you may be less likely to screw up as badly.

I have them in the engine I've just fitted in the Green AWD. Fitted genuine volvo bearings in them and they seem to have fitted ok and starts ok. Time will tell once I get it MOTed and start driving it
