need one stock rod within spec

[7M4EVR]

Machine shop calls a week after I was supposed to have my block and says one rod (the one where my bearing spun) does not measure within spec and all the other ones are perfect.

So my question is what is the best way to go about finding one stock rod in very good condition? I'm not ready to go with any forged internals at this point.

Thanks
John

I would guess....post a wtb thread in the wtb section?

I'm sure there are some people around here with some rods they could send you, alternatively if you need one quick/known to be perfect, order one from Toyota. You'll probably get it within a day or two.

I have one...five actually... although I have never measured a rod before. If you send me a link on how to check specs of the rod one of them is bound to be in spec

Guess I didn't expect yota to carry 26 year old rods...but that's good to know, are these like reman or what's the story on these any idea? thank u for the part number..$93 for one....

I'm not sure how to measure one but I believe u have to torque them down and it gets pretty precise.

They will be new, not reman. Toyota doesn't sell reman engine parts.

Can the old one not be resized?
Or is it a problem with the small end?

Or you could buy a new one from www.importperformanceparts.net
CRTO20 - $38

Dunno if they are made by the oem or not.

Thanks supra guy that seems to be a good option as well (definitely cheaper). As far as re sizing the rod he said he wouldn't use it. I'm not sure how they do it, but I think he was saying something about having to take too much off for it to be reusable.
