carrillo 964 rods on 3.2/3.3

[Stein]

Just bought a set of carrillo rods believing the 3.2/3.3 was the same as 964.
I see now there are different piston end width on carrillo 3.2/3.3 and 964 rods.

My rods are for 964 and I have a 3.3 with a 964 crank.
Is this Ok?

The 3.2 thru 964 rod has the same dimensions, the 993 has narrower dimensions, I have a set of Carrillo rods here now and they are the same as a set of stock 964 rods, I looked at the carrillo page and I believe there is a mistake, as it shows the small end being the same width as the 993

the rods messures the same as the catalog for the 964....
looks like the 964 rods has wider main bearing end than 993 and 3.3 has wider piston end than 964...

3.2, 3,3 and the 964 rods are the same cast part number.

Are you talking about factory porsche rods?

I found that casting numbers can be misleading. Remember, those numbers come from the mold. What the machinists do to the rough castings (either CNC or manual) can be many variations of final dimensions.
