Default Conrod specs for Focus RS and Zetec.. please

Anyone got the sizes for rods in the silvertop zetec, black top and the Focus RS?

Or can Focus RS pistons fit on Standard blacktop rods?

Silvertop - 136.14mm - 20.638mm pin
Blacktop - 140.84mm - 19.000mm pin
FRS - 137.00mm - 22.000mm pin

US (inc st170) - 139.19 - 20mm pin

Generally compression height of piston matches to the rod length so as long as you use the set it works in any of the various blocks.

Right, so that means i need FRS rods to go with the FRS pistons.
Or re-bush some Silver top rods to fit.

Yep.

There aren't any bushes in standard rods. Its an interference fit on the pin.

Don't know if if silvertops can have that much taken out. I know it use to be common to bore them out for LET pistons, but IIRC thats only 21mm.
