Default How do I fix this??

You may recall a while back I posted about issues with the main bearings on my Scat 221 4" stroke crankshaft. I fixed that little problem, posted on here, advised Scat; they didn't want to know!
Well, during a mock up assembly yet another problem has surfaced. I honestly don't know how to fix this.....Look at the photos; these are shots of numbers 1 and 5 cylinders. No, the rods are not bent; they are NOS 21A conrods. The crankpins on the crank have been ground on a different centre to the cylinders, consequently, the rods are hard over one side. I cannot run it like this; what to do?
I know what I'd like to do with that crank, and it wouldn't be pretty!!
