The tranny will be used for the Stan Shaw red 84, which is down due to a broken tranny case related to the parking pawl breaking. Bill, will get there next weekend or other time at your convenience.

Sorry to see the gruesome autopsy photos. Those rods from your '89 S4 look like the cast rods we've found in various GT engines and another '89 S4.

They are still 850g rods when in one piece, not small or light by any means! In your case, admittedly, only 850g / 7.
We had a strength debate on the factory rods here: http://reutterwerk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15158. Then this piece of evidence provided some contrary evidence: http://reutterwerk.com/forums/showth...t=15148&page=2
