Dave: The rods out of our C-85 are also Atlas, the numbers cast in are 'ATLAS 11 5561'. The logs show this zero time factory engine being installed back in 1953. We now have the 0-200 crank with coresponding rods in our bird. Hope this helps. John H C-FTSS

Gang, We pulled the jugs on my engine to check rings and valves after low comprerssion on #2 and #3. We decided to pull the connecting rods and check the bearings while we were at it, and the rods were not stamped with the part number in the Continental Engine Parts Catalog. Instead, they are stamped ATLAS 5401. Has anyone had any experience with these rods? I believe Atlas was a TCM supplier prior to 1998. We're just trying to confirm that these rods are an authorized part.
