For me, who put the marks there is the first question. I have seen stamped=
rod caps (between the bolt holes) with common numbers i.e. =E2=80=9C66=E2=
=80=9D and sometimes a separate number, i.e. =E2=80=9C+16=E2=80=9D when dis=
mantling an engine. Sometimes the numbers are all different. Suspect that t=
he numbers are related to the original engine builder grabbing 6 piston and=
rod assemblies out of a bin that have to fall into the manufacturers crite=
ria for weight. Last original engine was assembled more than 50 years ago, =
and I have never been able to discuss this with any of the English old time=
rs.=20
Back to my =E2=80=9Cfirst question.=E2=80=9D Engine rebuilders sometimes st=
amp all kinds of info on the engine bits they used on a rebuild. =20
That can really mess with trying to figure out what the numbers mean.

Subject: [Healeys] 6 Cyl connecting rods
I have a few used connecting rods & they have #'s stamped on the big end ca=
p between the two bolts as follows: 2, 23, 44, 70. What does that indicate?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
