Did mine recently at 68k mileage. Glad I did as number six rod bearings shell counting from the front , seemed to have the most wear, and didn’t look happy,but was still in spec, using plastiguage, I only did the shells because my head gasket had gone on number 1-2 , confirmed which compression test before I stripped head off ,, as I’ve previously mentioned not sure if wear to number six shell has a link to blown gasket on numbers 1-2 ,, As they are on opposing strokes possibly some kind of imbalance loads,, just a thought
