briggs connecting rod sizes

[mowermike007]

ok quick question, is a briggs 16.5 hp connecting rod the same size and length as a briggs 20hp intek rod? just wondering before i tear both motors down, i just figure the differance in motors is the bore size and not the stroke? or i might be completely wrong like i usually am LOL.
