A coil only firing one of the pair is something i have never heard of, wing carbs can be a swine to clean--nearly as bad as the F2 ones. I would suspect cap and or plug and carb before coil. I also seem to remember the wing uses ballasted coils

They seal up the holes you need to get a socket in to torque the head

They are the pressed in jets that stick into the float bowl and I can just about guarantee they are blocked and that is why you are not getting fuel into the engine

If you want to spend some time before going to an engineer here is what I would do:

Fit all the knackered shells then replace 1 journal at a time with the new and torque up to see if the crank locks up checking all journals individually.

If only one journal locks up the crank try fitting the shells for smallest case and biggest pin then try again, if all lock it up i would look for different cases or a complete engine using the rest of the bought engine as spares.

As somebody else said the gearbox bearing clearances will be wrong as well and you will be clamping them too tight, and whist they are robust steel cages I don't think it's a good idea.

As too altering the piston/head clearance that is minimal considering you can skim both head and cylinders

Two things

(1) a large piece of plate glass from a glazing firm and some very fine compound will check if the case joints are flat

(2) Back when i did a lot of Ford engines if a big end knocked it was common practice for the rod end to need resizing as they ovaled
