Mal, I see you made a tool to replace the small end bushing. How do you ream it to size? Did you also make a tool to keep it perpendicular to the crankcase?
I use either the 18mm or 20mm ball pushed through as recommended by Barrington.
Then I have a spiral reamer for both 18mm and 20mm depending on bush size.
I do not have a special tool for ensuring the bush is perfectly in line with the crankshaft centre line.
I guess there is three situations to deal with.
1. Motor assembled, with cylinders off
2. Crank out of motor, with rods on crank
3. Crank disassembled, rods as individual pieces.
I am currently dealing with option 3. Which does make it easier, but not perfect.
You have given me another challenge to ponder on.
