What do I need when changing rods? New shells and bigend bolts? And where is best place to get them from? Looking to change the 16v rods into a new engine so making sure I know what to look for in advance

Thanks

Also had a VR headgasket fitted not long ago would it be ok to reuse this when heads removed

When I fitted hdi rods to my old engine, I just used same shells and bolts, just make sure there in good condition, my old bottom end is still going in fine to.

no need to replace bolts or shells if they're in good nick

headgasket on the other hand, yes would change this out

you need new rods too..

I do now there f*cked lol

can get away with just using a new HG.

Reuse bolts, rod studs, rings, shells, oil, etc etc.

In a no expense spared build these should all be replaced though.

Well if you really didn't want to replace the headgasket you could take the crank out
