"The normal machine shop way would be to measure to the top of the wrist pin
with a depth mike and then add the radius of the wrist pin to get the hole
center position."

That's what I was afraid of. Without those 11mm it was well in the ball park of several other makes. Adding it in puts it on the long side. I guess some longer rods could fix that. Although I'm certainly wandering out into the woods when I start mixing and matching parts like that, without the experience to know what I'm doing. I guess I should stick closer to standard Volvo parts.

I guess rod lengths are calculated center to center as well?
