no - you will NEED 6 bolt specific rods to use on a 6 bolt crank. The big end journal widths are different between the 6 and 7 bolt engines, and using 7 bolt rods on a 6 bolt crank will mean there is excessive end clearance. Most aftermarket rod manufacturers will provide rods which are designed for 6 bolt cranks but will take the 7-bolt 22mm wrist pins.
