Nope. 1,6 rod is 136mm long and pin is 24mm.

I posted the one page because the vendor uses frames, and it was kinda hard to show what I was talking about.

this guy has a lot of interesting parts... maybe if enough people wanted them he would produce some heavy duty rods for the 1.6... just an idea, as it seems the most common concern of those building high hp 1.6's

Maybe but if we change the intake manifold so the 2 middle rods weren't getting 80+% of the air bending rods would be less of a issue.

Yah, but there is no recess in the top of the lifter to accept the OEM valve shims.

Looks like you have to remove the lifter to put their 'lash caps' on the valve stem.  Which means the cam has to come out each time you adjust the valves.   :roll:

And the 'lash caps':

"the height must be grinded for each application, please specify if it is for exhaust or intake valve"

No thanks.

Maybe I should have pattened my super wizbang seat shims. :shock:
