240 Rod Bearings 200 1983

My neighbor the Volvo / Volkswagen mechanic and I replaced my rod bearings this weekend, (this one was the worst) because of a slight knock. And I do mean slight. When I pulled the oil pan I was shocked to say the least. It looked as if I had struck the mother load, only it was copper instead of gold.

Now after everything was cleaned, checked for extra bits, and buttoned up I still have the knock. Only it's even more quiet. But it's still there. We're guessing that the rod might be a little egg shaped from the looks of the bearing.

That brings me to my question. I'm having trouble finding a rod, except for the (You want HOW MUCH!?!?) Dealer.

Are there any aftermarket or internet sites that I can purchase from? Or is having it machined a viable option?

Many thanks...

There's a picture of the bearing (it's impressive) in the gallery!
