Set of new 1275 con-rods.  They are too wide around the big end to fit down
the bore of a standard size 1275 (by about 10 thou).  Surely they don't
expect the pistons to be installed from below?  They are not symmetrical,
with one face being larger against the crank web than the other.  They are
all heavy due to the flat and polished large area below the journal, between
the rod bolts,  that gives the impression that the bottom of the rod is
machined from a block rather than a casting.

Scrap metal bin or E-bay ?
