unfortunately it's more than just rods which let go when you shit bits

But i'm sure you're replacing bearings etc. whilst you're under there

Nope i cant think of anything else... Like f*ck am i, if i had the cash its common sense to do it, but as long as the engine didnt die from bottom end failure they will be reused, i cant see it being an issue.

Crank failure
Bearings
gudgeon pins
poor surfaces
crank failure
head/valve/cam failure
EGT melting

many things contribute to shitting engines

for around £30 i'd be inclined in changing them

but as you said, it 'may' not be an issue

Around 30 quid to change them? Heh...ohh nooo, putting new bigs / mains / seals in the bottom end of a motor is gunna cost alot more than 30 quid.

Provided the bearings are still good, be fine for your purpose.
