You got the idea though. There shouldn't be much side force on a rod though. Would have to cut a tabe in the right place to keep it from spinning. Any machinists out there, or anyone that knows what kind of side forces or on a rod? Since the rod doesn't float, hand fitting a wider bearing shell should work. With a floating pin it would likely be a problem, but a pressed in piston piin should be okay???
