Default Engine Help!!

Hi folks, got a couple questions I hope someone can help with.

Dropped a knackered engine off to be stripped and rebuilt last week and got the dreaded phonecall today saying the crank cannot be saved

I think I have sourced a crank and everything else is ok apart from the rod on cylinder 4.

Looks like I will have to buy a complete set so what would people recommend??

It won't be chasing big power, stage 3 on a t34 is as far as it will be going.

As said everything else is fine....pistons, bores, head etc, just need some advice on rods to go with the crank.

Thanks in advance

standard rods are great in a yb, they are good for circa 600hp so no need to change.

Yep I don't mind using used parts as long as they are good. The engine is all stripped and will be rebuilt by a pro so no worries there
