the de rods can work with the det motor but the difference is that the de rod is smaller in width by about 3mm with the micrometer. its recomended that if u have plans of big power upgrades that u do not use de rods because they are not forged and are not as beefy as the det rods so they will give way. it is ur call and depends on ur application. the length is obviously the same because the displacement is the same. and post back why u are changing the rod or rods, let me know what was damaged and why. for i am in the process of replacing my rods because my bearing spun and scarred the rod
