With the floating bearings I made a fixture to hold the crank on the table to fit rod bearings to the crank and the bearings to the rods . This way I can rotate the rods 360 degrees without the pistons in the way. It take time , patience , Rubber hammer , scotch bright . and Lacquer thinner.
Keep the same bearings with the same rods.
