At the end of the day why take the risk, it will take your at most an hour to fabricate the rod and carry out the work, you can sleep easy knowing that your bearings are OK.

All that worries me is that the engine has just been set-up on the rollers, if i start playing with the distributor that will be another trip to them (I know its cheaper and a lot less hasle then replacing the bearings) looking at some of the threads on the other forums it seems that marking the distributor the timing will still be off?
1/ If i was to go for the start up, whats the max time i should be looking at before seeing oil pressure, i know at best they take a while to reg oil pressure after a oil change
2/ If i go for priming, is the priming tool available to buy, whats the views on ignition timing with taking the distributor off
3/ Ill have a look today to see if the sandwitch plate has the stat built in, surly if it has, it isnt going to have to prime the cooler/hoses on start up that will be later when the oil reaches temp???
Bring on the valium
