I have a stock out of the box 35+21 and kained it from the first start. I only needed to change the rod at 15ltrs that nilly 4us gallons. But like the person befor me The collari 35+21 uses a difrent rod weather its just renamed or not. I would say change it as soon as you see play but rember when a conrod gets play thats when they ware the crank pin and thats more expencive to replace than a conrod. My engine has 2 rod piston pin and bearing changes and over 30ltrs of running time on it thats about 7us gallons. and its better than some engines ive seen with less than half the run time. Most of the ware factor is in the tune and fuel. The right combo will make an engine last and last. Regards Jeremy.
