        Have you checked them on the crank, i.e. are they the right size?

          I didn't, but all vr6 are the same main bearing size.

          And you saying incase they are totally the wrong rod?

          The wrist pin fits fine and (by eye) it looks right against the oem rod

                Yes exactly that.

                I'd check the length as well.

                  034 want me to measure the rod bolts.

                  im hoping to get home on friday and will take another look. (the main bearings fit fine though, although i didnt try it on the crank)

                    Your rods are for r32, not 2.8. 3.2 has bigger bore.

                    I had same issue from a German supplier, and they would have required a hefty 3mm overbore to fit in.

                    I made a complaint, and they suggested me to sell them in ebay and buy a new set from someone who cares.
