Gerry and I took on the connecting rods tonight. Lotsa fun, kind of a big model. We measured the bearing to journal clearance and all were .0015" and rod side clearance was .012 to .014 on the 4 rods.
Here's Gerry torquing down the rod bolts on #2 Attached image(s)

Tonight wasn't as fun as last night. I spent the evening cleaning some of the mating surfaces. For the record the kid disappeared fast when the word cleaning came up. So it was me, carb cleaner a plastic scaper and my thumbnail. Not sure what they used the lastime they put this together but Berryman's carb cleaner softened it pretty well.
I'm waiting on hardware now. It's probably a good thing cause it gives me time to clean then clean some more. Dave Attached image(s)
