Make sure you get the rods facing the right direction when re-installed. Not only for the possible oil squirt effect but because the rod is chamfered on the side the goes against the crank counter weight edge.

Backward installation is known to happen.

Initially on my engine build I put the pistons on backwards to the rod. When I got the rod installed right, the piston was wrong! Arrgggghhhhhh, those piston pin spiral locks are a nightmare to install.

So you gonna file some notches in the bearings? WHOA, does that sound scary or what!
