I see your problem.  You don't have a block to keep the rods in.

Phil , I don't know if i can be of help or not. Do you live near an engine- machine shop.In MHO you will have to get the "rod strighten" And the engine "line-bored". also when you go to assembly the engine. MAKE sure that the rod bolts DO NOT HAVE ANY LUBE ON THEN. Also, if the block has not been "surface"ground , do it. At the very least have it checked for squareness. In my previous STATEMENT I said to be SURE that the rod bolts were clean of any lubicant I didn't mean the BEARING, lube the bearing as usual, just don't get any on the bolts OR nuts. MAKE SURE that they are dry.
