gpw engine problem

[old arkie]

well at last I was starting the rebuild of my 42 gpw BUT as I was installing the pistons on the four gpw con-rods alas number 2 rod is no good as was the number 3 rod was as well but I found good number three ,but I am in dire need for a good number 2 ford rod to match the other 3. So if someone of the other jeepers just happen to have a good number 2 rod. this old arkie was indeed ready o buy it so please dig deep into uour parts box and lo should you find one PLEASE allow this old arkie tp purchase so the my faithful 42 can get back on the road OF couse I am prepared to pay the price asl ong as it a good one thanks for looking

The number 2 rod and number 4 rod are the same, if that helps.

I still have one NOS, still in the original box with label, GPW 6201. It is a collectors item in it's own right. Same price as before: $175.

Thank you for the offer. Thats a bit more then I can afford. But as a jeeper on SSI there is some difficulties. I will have to keep looking till I can afford a good used one. Of the 4 used ones I bought only 2 were usable. You did not mention if its a number 1 or 4 and thats what I need. Gotta be a good used one out there somewhere. So thanks for your post. old arkie

Just curious, did you not check the rods for straightness and damage before starting building? you can not see small bends, there is a tool for that job.

Those are Willys rods, not Ford, and appear to be Chinese (or something) made.

I gave the part number; GPW6201. If you don't know what rods you need, then your engine won't be happy. The rods I have are NOS in the original sealed and cosmoline dipped box; I would never open it.
GPW 6201 is for pistons #2 and 4; page 29 of your SNL.
