TR2/3/3A TR3 Connecting Rod Needed

Hey All
Machine shop just called and the small end of one of my connecting rods is enlarged such that new bushing OD is too small. They recommended replacement (don't think oversized bushings are typically available). Does anyone have a single connecting rod they'd be willing to sell? Reply to forum or PM me - thanks much.

Pat,

There is 1 on eBay for $28.99 (Buy It Now) as well. It's listed as NOS rebuilt so not sure what *that* means.

Hi Marv

I think Randall is digging up a conrod for me. I'll let you know if that doesn't work out. Thanks for responding. I'm excited to get this engine back together soon!

Pat,

Sorry don't have any spares but someone in Minneapolis is selling 4 TR4A ones for $75. I'm not sure if there is any difference...

Saw multiple offerings on eBay.
on that subject. I’m having a senior moment.
connecting rods ; how are they aligned.
The alignment ‘all the same. - alternating,’
Feel like I’m playing three card monte.
need some help.

Which alignment are we talking about? Small to big axis, caps to rods, etc

Rods have a short arm and a long one. If attached wrong they hit the block. Process of elimination will finally get it but better to start correctly.
 
Thanks, a long day and nothing looked right.
On top of that the copper ‘figure right’ caught on the last one destroying itself. Lucky I had a spare steel one. Have to go back in but can blame it on part failure. Otherwise I would have to accept the blame.
