Replacement Connecting Rod Bolts

[JCTracker]

Does anyone have a line on where I could get either factory or aftermarket connecting rod bolts for G16 1600 8V engines?

Yes Suzuki

I'm looking for replacement/new Rod bolts. No rods needed.

iDK, google is the only 3rd party parts finder world wide. and ebay, car-parts.com (wreckers shows none)
just bolts and not nuts?
how many 1 or all 8.
most wrecking yard on earth do not split up rod bolts from rods, unless bent rod or spun bearings, not easy to find bolts.
Dorman parts , not this.
ARP too, but not this. (there web site is down not so catalog dead until later)

a USA maker of rods is here and bolts

suzuki is and underdog in USA so outside you may get hits, they ended new cars sales here so the aftermarket suppliers here are not too keen on support.

many bolt makers only do them for custom rods, not stock.

arp catalog up, they do M16a only.
easy maker must be asked 1 by 1. not easy that.

find used engine? or cracked short block and use it for parts is best. when parts not sold.... and is getting worse every year.
lots of these engines sit dead with spun rod #4 the hot running one. and end of oil gallery.
last time i was in this pickle, I put out a craigs list WTB wanted to buy and sat tight. 1week later a short block dead found. cheap.
