I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEAN WHEN * WE TALK ABOUT LONG AND SHORT CONNECTING RODs. * ON 50CC AND 70CC OVERHEAD CAM ENGINES ie Z50'S * XR50'S CT70'S C70 PASSPORTS SL/XL/CL70'S ATC AND TRX70'S. * FROM 1968 TO 2003 HONDA HAS ONLY HAD TWO DIFFERENT * ROD LENGTHS. AND ALL!! ENGINES HAVE ALLWAYS HAD A * 41.4MM STROKE. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS IN THE PISTONS * THERE MUST BE ABOUT 100 DIFFERENT, WELL IT SEEMS LIKE * IT ANYWAY. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DOMES AND DECK HEIGHTS * (THE DISTANCE FROM THE PISTON PIN CENTER TO THE TOP OF THE PISTON)
