>750 g size, IIRC the 2.0s are in about that range.

The 2,0 rods seem to differ somewhat depending on year/model (914/bus), but most are around 800-825 gramms.

OT: Wally, I don't see a PM or e-mail...
I'm trying to source a set of those Deutz cylinders 100mm size, uncut for a project.

This evil plan uses real 5.7 chevy H-Beam rods... with the chevy journal, not the buick one, 2.1", only a .065 cut on the 66 crank.
(The bolts go the "wrong" way vs VW modded ones...)

On a short stroke motor like that, the bolt heads shouldn't be an issue.

Anyone having any info, PM or e-mail me.

What exactly do you want from me? I have e-mail and pm, both are listed, but I don't have a set of those Deutz cylinders for you

I don't understand...

Greetings,
Walter

Sorry Wally, for some reason your contact info buttons weren't showing up.

I thought you might have some possible sources, as you had mentioned these before.

Google is letting me down, as did the local Tractor places.
