What's this for? Performance upgrade, or one of yours broke. You can use KL rods, but you'll have to change all 6 rods to KL rods, and you'll have to use a KL crank as well. That'll increase your displacement a little to around 2 liters I believe.

Stock rods or not, if they're designed for a KL, you'll need a KL crank.
