Subject: <VV> What's This Mean--the answer 

The #3 wrist pin moved! Scored a deep channel in the cylinder wall. Mucho blow by. In the hopes of saving the rod which is a one of a balanced set--does anyone have an oversize wrist pin. I know they haven't been made in years but thought somebody might have one. Thhanks to all who offered advice 

==================== 

I'd be concerned about the other 5 rods having adequate interference fit as well. 

Putting 1000 lbs or so load with proper fixtures would help weed out problems.

We used to measure every rod eye/pin end when assembling rods and pistons.
