RE: Rebuilding a motor?
if you havent abused the engine then the con rod should be ok to reuse.
I have replaced the piston and sleeve without replacing the con rod in my ofna force .25 and it ran strong and long like a new engine.
as long as you break the engine in correctly and dont overheat it\run it to lean, then the con rod should last for multiple rebuilds.
