    Connecting rod cap differences?

    I have a set of eta rods but I am missing the caps.. Any reason that I can't use I caps? The bearings fit right in.


    Also are the e rods numbered to differ from cylinder to cylinder?

      Bearing caps are not interchangeable. The cap and rod are honed to diameter as a unit.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Find yourself another set of rods with matching caps.

                  rods without caps = art, not engine.
