You may have to buy a short block from the recycler....just to get the rod.

> I'm still trying to find a connecting rod (or set of 4) for my '86 8v.  My
local VW parts supplier can't get them, Potterman didn't answer my email
and, so far, on one here seems to have one lying around.
>
> Here's the problem:  One of the rod bearings spun and appears to have
damaged the rod (its hammered to a bit of an oval shape).  I suspect a
machine shop can't fix this kind of damage, but I will take it in and find
out.

> So, any ideas?  Again, anyone have a used connecting rod?  Its for an '86
JH engine, but it EKTA says its the same rod used in any of the 1.8L
engines.
