Holy Jeebus! You've done a number on that rod...
Found a listing on Dwayne's website. Someone with a full version of CAPS should be able to doublecheck for you (sorry I don't have the complete version):

Good lord
Please dont tell me that sh*tty petrol caused that... cause I wont believe it.
Okay, here some part numbers for ya:
MD147819 - Piston rod kit (Comes with the 2 nuts & bolts required for each)
There are 2 different types of piston, 1 for the rear bank (or right bank) and another type for the front bank (left bank.)
The left are basically mirror images of the right. Each pistons comes with the gudgeon pin to suit.
Rear Bank (Right):

RPW probably has some 2nd hand conrods in the shop from previous engine rebuilds where we have used forged items if your interested.

thanks I will keep that in mind

I am looking for new parts even forged parts, I have looked on the rpw site only thing there is the turbo parts 8.5:1.
I need at least 10:1 or even up to 11:1 so I can do some upgreads at the same time but I dont want to go turbo
so if they have any thing like that I would like to get some prices for them.

If your not going turbo, there's no need for forged internals.
