Oversize bearings, std crank journal? =>No clearance?
Epoxy? Where?
All sounds very dodgy.

epoxy glue was holding in the bearings on the rod ! I am as yet to size up to find out what the heck was going on , but both bearings on the 8th rod were copper not one part untouched ! I did a quick size up of the crank , and it reads as standard ? clearance ?
man with that set up oil would of been no where till it wore to the size !
either the rod has been beaten to a different size , or honed to a different size or it was not torqued up . what a mess . once I get it out ill size it up correctly and see .I am as yet to UNGLUE the rod . (thinners will soften the poxy)

well, as I do not have any g micrometer here it is hard to size , BUT at a rough I used a vernier between 50.7 ~50.9 on all big ends !!! so why the hell was oversized bearings in the last two rods (7 and 8 ) think about this folks , why would that be ? I do believe I know , anyone for a guess ?

Previously spun bearings?
I'll just put over sized bearings in there, that'll take up some clearance but I'll epoxy them as well, then they won't spin again?
