I spoke with the guy I bought these from.

The original build was with TRW pistons... then he had the engine redone with lighter pistons and the switch was made then he wasn't aware of the pin diameter change.

I also made arrangements withy engine machinist to fix the whole deal. I pick up finished block next next week and I'll take the rods to him.

Great responses guys...thanks very much.

Update....got the rods back last week.

The shop has the Tobin-Arp rod boring machine. Worked slick. Installed new rod bolts and all is good.

Thanks to all...
