Why? A picco based engin must not be compared with NR, the fit is less.
There is realy no reason to replace the conrod after just 0,8 liter. Even when done, the new conrod must wearin again on the bigend and therefore break in again for 1 tank.
A new conrod can be used upto 2 to 3 liters with breaking in. 3 to 5 liters without depending upon usage.
