What is up with the rods in the 2.1s
Is it as simple that they are getting pounded oval and the bearing spins, so you just need to re-size them back to factory and everything is AOK?

Or are there other problems?

I have a buddy with a Sun rod grinding machine and he always does my rods.
Just wondering if there is more to tell him than what he has always done to my vw rods in the past.

Thanks,

Doug

  It appears that I have been struck by the "didn't recondition the 
  rods when rebuilding the engine" syndrome. About 9500 miles, and the 
  top of the block is littered with bearing and rod cap pieces. I need 
  a decent used 2.1 to get me through until I decide what to do with 
  my otherwise very clean '87 Westie. Any leads?
