Looking for a shop to modify 3.0L rods

Hi All,

Ollie's in Santa Ana, CA is a well-known Porsche exclusive machine shop that does many of the sublet work for the local SoCal shops (including some for PMNA) and also from other parts of the country. They can perform this service for you. I have an old price list from Ollie's, I think to simply go from a 22mm pin diameter to 23mm pin diameter is roughly $100-$150 for the set.:)

Henry from Supertec can also do this for you. He is a frequent poster here touting his products and services while also giving advice/recommendations, you can easily find him by searching...:)

The conversion takes resizing the bushing from 22mm to 23 mm and you must also offset the bushing.
The result is a lightly longer rod and with most Porsche engines the longer rod is a plus.
