Default Re: 21A rods set up on a 4" Merc crank

Great, thanks !

I can shutpeen and I will ofcourse check the bigends, but if some grams off in this set I really don't matter.
I will go upp on the diameter 0.001" on the rods and I has a AMC grinder I can use so surface will be nice.
I target in a oil clearance at 0.0025".
Actually as it is now I can slide in a set less use any schottbrite and the rods is STD now at 2.220" but I will add up the diameter and make shore all bearings rotare fine in the rod and later on when crank pin is - 0.020" I will check so its rotate.

A question.
This old ideas by use this rods in a stroked crank will fullfloat bearings, was it in big issues or does it work RPM it, if all tech is Ok ?
