James,
As Tom has pointed out the post was confused as was I at the time obviously.
I was cut and pasting measurements and made a mistake. The measurements Tom
gave are correct by me.
Cheers

Subject: Re: L 13 RODS
Hi Errol
Not trying to be picky... just want to clear it up but in a previous post
you mentioned the following
L13, 14, 16 & 18 are 54.942mm same as L24 and L26 All the following rods
use a 59.942mm crank journal.
L20B 145.9mm, LZ20 152.45, LZ22 145.9, LZ24 143.9
(copy of old message attached below):-
So was that previous email actually referring to the mains... and not the
big ends??
regards
James
