Default Re: Connecting rod Question

Quote:
You will need to have a shop replace, expand and hone/bore the pin end of your new rods and have them fit to your wrist pins before installing them. Make sure that the shop either aligns the rods after fitting the pins or bore the pins off the big ends to maintain the alignment.
I can see a copper color in there, if these are NOS, would they already have the bushings fit?
Without taking any measurements, I dropped a wrist pin in the one con rod and it didn't have any slop.
I purchased bushings but on receipt thought I would have to have the con rods bored to give them room to fit.

One of the reasons I'm going for a diy rebuild is that I have not been able to find a shop that is willing to do work on the old engines and can get me in this summer.
