RB25 Conrod Question

[32_love]

My apologies if this is a stupid question.

I need to replace a single conrod on an R33 RB25 series 2 (bearing failure). Without going the forged route, what would be my best option? (I'm finding it difficult to find a set or single series 2 rod)

- RB26 rods - Does it matter if they are from 32/33/34? And do I still use my existing pistons?

- RB25 rods - Will neo rods work in a series 2?

These will be going on a standard 25 crank.

 

Thanks

Can't be a 26 rod. That would work in a 25Neo, but not in a vanilla 25.

Therefore must be a 25 rod.

You can just throw one in there, but it would be wise to do a measure up and make sure that the one that you're putting in isn't somehow much heavier or lighter than the others. Paranoia is cheaper than catastrophic failure resulting from closing eyes and bolting together.

Thanks for clarifying GTSBoy!

Whatever I get will definitely be measured as I'll be taking the rods and crank in together for balancing.

 

For anyone else that see's this and has a spare RB25 rod or set, hit me up please.

Might be worth pinging @admS15 who is currently putting an engine together in his build thread.

Hey mate, I have 11 good 2nd hand RB25 S2 conrods here. You can have 1 if you like. No charge, other than shipping if required.
