I know maths isn't my strong point, but isn't B223704 later than B65280, meaning that your 10.212" rods are actually correct?

Here are the different lengths:

FX/FJ - 10.305"

FE/FC & FB to B65280 - 10.4 "

FB after B65280 and EK/EJ - 10.212"

My suspicion is that it is actually the tappets that are from an earlier engine (with the longer rods). So you don't have rods from an FE/FC, you need them because you have FE/FC tappets.

There is a heap of dirt and crud on the engine I'll double check the engine number when there's more light.
