you dont need to replace the con rod and just to let you know it will revamp the engine but wont be as good as new but it will be good, and if you just save up a little more money you can get a good brand new engine for a litle more!, i was going to rebuild my os 12 cvr but i bought a dynamite .12spd for like 80 bucks just shop around
that is so wrong
you ask any one that builds engines on rcu
and they will tell you that yes you do need to replace th connecting rod
the connecting rod streches over time and becomes weak so if you dont replace it now it will cause you problems later
