Yes, I keep reminding myself of that. For instance, before checking to see if the flywheel pin bore was good enough for the 1.005" oversize pin set I had pressed the races in the rods. Well that didn't work because the new pin set is a different mfg, and the bearing rollers are a different size. The races have to be changed out for the new 1.065" oversize pin set.
Before they can be pressed in though, they need 4 oil reliefs ground in the outer edge to better lubricate the face of the rod.

The easy part now is pressing the races into the rods. They are about .060" wider than the rod so I try to get the .030" even on both sides. That's controlled by another jig.
