Hi Pete,

What I did on my engine When it was on the engine stand was..I installed the rod so that it was backward's,,wrist pin hanging out the bottom of the engine..Then I adjusted the rod so it would "Fall" by it's own weight "with oil on the journel"

It's easier to do with the crank in a big vice,,,
