The new PRS sets contain the 21-0600 con rod, which will only fit the newer cranks with the larger diameter crank pin (Gen 5.5, GX and MG66).
If your motor is the older Gen 5 version with the plain head and a grey coloured crankcase, then the new PRS set will not be OK - unless you get an older 28-0600 con rod and change it over, or fit a new GX Series TiNi coated crank to your motor to accept the newer con rod.

As far as putting the 5 Port PRS into the existing crankcase, all PRS and crankcases from Gen 5 onwards will interchange. You just have to be aware of the different con rods and crank pin sizes from Gen 5.5 onwards.
Hope this isn't too confusing, but I would hate you to buy something that wasn't compatible
I am confused.

1. Can the GX series use the 28-0600 conrod?

2. What conrod does the older 7 port? 28-0600 as well?

THnaks!
