<VV> troublesome rod cap

[MarK Durham]

Michael, check to see if there is a sharp edge at the rod cap holes. Once
in awhile the maching to get the flat surfaces flat then to hone the rod
bearing bore can leave a sharp edge that can catch on the rod bolt threads.
Filing the inside of those holes to smooth those edges might do the trick
for you.
