Connecting Rods question

[Drifter99]

The connecting rod in my #1cylinder has #3 stamp on it the rest of the cylinders are correct. My question is can you swap odd for odd even for even rods to cylinders, evidently some one has been in it. The head gasket was blown between #1and number #2 cylinders when I got the engine don't know if that has ant correlation . Thanks for any input. Robin

Parts book has listings for "Connecting Rod Assembly (less bearings)" and lists two numbers. One for cylinders 1-3-5 and the other for 2-4-6.

I have heard the same.

It would appear that the rods have a bit of offset to them.  It should have no correlation to the blown gasket other than the possibility of the head not being retorqued after the initial heat cycle following repair.

Thats what was thinking Dave just thought I would throw all the variables out there. The retourque must not have been done the gaskets seem fairly new. Thanks

If you care, '33 standard sized connecting rods are 600731 for 1,3,5 and 600732 for 2,4,6. There is a different pair of numbers for 0.010 undersized.
