Rods?

[earthquake]

OK
Are the rods in a 1500 pretty much the same as 1600 rods? I am putting together a 1915 but its pretty much going to have stock heads for now.
I have a set of CB HD Untech rods but I don't wan't to use them in this motor, I have two complete 1500's [there H code motors] that have never been broke down, would a set of rods from one of these be ok? I wan't to save the CB's for a stroker motor down the road.
The motor I am going build will be...

AS code DR case
stock DP heads/ stock valve train & new springs
Engle 110 cam
DPR 69mm CW crank
AA P&C's
40mm Weber IDF's
and whatever other parts I need.

1500 & 1600 share the same rod.

It depends on which rods it has! The early 1300cc rods were a little on the light side. 311 rods,
cb clearanced 311 rods?,
I think what you want are the OE German 311B Rods! Says here they were Type 3 rods but replaced Type 1 Rods: 311B rods.

The 1500 rods will work fine. Just check them out as you would any used part.

if there good to go then.....it's up to you. if they need reworking.....the cb will be better.with this stated ...Ive never used a vw rod.

The rods will work fine. However, since you are going to so much work. I would send them to Rimco or similar and have new bushings installed and the rods sized end to end. Of course a balance of total rod weight and end to end weight should be done as well.
