SOHC Rods

Are the SOHC rods the same as the DOHC rods? I just threw a rod in my SOHC, and im just wondering if i should put new rods in the DOHC that i have. The DOHC i have has 140k miles on it; so did my SOHC. Thanks

rods

The rods on the sohc are for regular pistons and the rods on the dohc are for full floating pistons so they have a busching in the piston pin area the dohc are best also you can use the kia sephia rods they are stronger than the ones on the mazda sohc and dohc.
