Default 152mm Conrods

Hi,

I have some 152mm conrods as an upgrade to the ones that I have, only realize that they won't work for me unless I go down the stroker route.

Spent just £190 on them, looking for £100. Pics will be posted later.

I thought they were 152mm standard? Or am I missing something?

It's probably me!!!! A few websites stating that to go to forged pistons to use 158mm rods. I must be missing something...

Hold fire...! I'll check their specs, if they're compatible with the pistons I've seen, I'll be keeping them...
