Still looking for a rod for my AAZ!

I'm still in need of a good used rod for my AAZ engine.  The number on the bottom of my rod cap is 54.  Another 54 would be awesome.  If not than I could use two matching rods to replace two of mine.  I'm in West Virginia.  Thanks,  Paolo

Just a heads up here and might be worthwhile you checking exactly what type of AAZ rod you need.
I am not 100% sure about the AAZ engines but the 1Y engines which is the non turbo equivalent of the same era have two different types of connecting rods. The difference being on 1 type that the big end cap is dowelled to the rod with two small dowel pins that sit alongside the bolts. The 2nd type does not use these dowel pins but instead uses a different type of bolt that has a smooth parallel shank area that engages in both the rod and cap and locates the cap to the rod in the correct position.

Also 1Y rods are 150mm long so no use to you.
