sorry used the term reuild kinda loosely, i'm not to flash with all the terminology ae. still learning i put in a new cam and lightened flywheel i got the problem sorted, there were markings on the bearings and the conrods (eg, 1,2,3,4 on both conrods and bearings) but they didn't match up like 1 ended up fitting with 3 and so on. (they weren't factory stamps, they were done with a vivid type marker). so i just mixed and matched the bearings with the conrods and did the process you said and after about 3-4 hours of trying all the possibilities i got it.
anyway thanks for the post ae
