the differance in the bolts is hard to detect. I have had to point out
the differance to most people as
the cant see any. The 2.1 bolt is tapered at the outer edge of the
shoulder other than that the rods do
look the same. The copper showing on the rod bearings is the poof that
the rods are indeed worn out and I would say these are most likely 2.1
rods
. this could be a 1.9 crank and rods but I would not think so. the proof
will be when you try to fit the oil rings onto the pistons the 1.9 oil
rings are thicker
give a call when you can
