that's the problem! the rods have been back and forth to the machineshop so many times, I don't know anymore what's what...
ok, so they are matched to a particular piston, numbered 1 thru 8, polished and machined down at the top-end to fit the custom pistons...clearance at wristpintowers is half a mm now...

can't make out the matching pair anymore, have to find out by trial and error, with the available clearance as my guidance...

damn! I should've had them engraved!
