Ooops,
I confused you. The rods are the ones that were in the bike in 71 when it was torn apart and left in pieces. Supposedly never rebuilt, which I can believe because everything was on standard.
Weird that I had two left hand rods though.
I had the rods checked over, they are in great condition for 60 year old parts so thats no a concern. Did go with ARP rod bolts though.
Talking to some of my American bike friends, I got 5 different solutions.
Peen the hole over on the side I dont want to oil.
drill, tap and plug the hole
fill the hole with JB weld
Dont worry about the hole
Buy an old Harley instead...
I dont know about any of that.
