The rod bolts can bee seen from the cylinder openings of the opposite
cylinders
the 2.1 bolts have a taper down to the rod on the outside edge of the bolt
the 1.9 have 2 tangs that stick out

I sell 2.1 rods exchange with new diesel bolts for $140 weighted both ends
rebuilt and straight

Subject: 1.9 and 2.1 rod bolt identification

I have a 2.1 motor with the pistons and sleeves removed.  Is there any
way to tell if it has 1.9 or 2.1 rod bolts?  If I cannot tell with the
rods still installed, can I tell if I remove the rods and look at the
bolts?  Thanks
