Default Rods to use for C20LET ZVH build

Hello,

I'm new here. I'm from the Netherlands, so i am already apologizing for my bad english.

Last thursday I bought myself a Ford Escort mk4 and a 2 litre Silvertop engine from a Ford Mondeo.

I want to build a ZVH engine, using the C20LET Opel pistons. I know the block needs to be machined to accept the pistons.

Now I have one issue about the rods, i want to buy these rods. Link:

The hole for de piston pins is already 21mm like the C20LET. I read that the Zetec rod lenght is 136,14 mm c/c and these rods in the link are 136,25 mm c/c, is this a big problem or do i have to shorten my pistons with 0,11mm?

Thanks!

G. Vos
