Default std S1 rst rods and pistons

What are they good for (if anything)? paper weights? lol
Ive got 4 spare doing nothing, could sell em i suppose but dunno much tere worth (also handy spares ) or aer they of any use to build an engine, say if i got a XR3i efi block, could they go in there to make a turbo botom end (with XR crank and tapped oil return etc) must be summit they can be used for, mates getting an XR2 an we were wondering if we cld use em for ought if he wanted to turbo it (apart from buying a turbo bottom end an stickin em in! or can they be machined at all to lower CR to be used in an erst engine?

No. Get an engine reconditioners to check it with a bore thingy that I can't quite rememeber the name of at the moment (it's like a micrometer with 3 legs for measuring bores and shit thats round).

Excuse the technical tems...
