Aaaah, the Banana con rod 😁😁😁 Rods usually bend in pairs, so it #1 rod bent as well?
eight0:
Yes! Which is why the middle two pistons were centered out outside weren't.
Think it's safer to use all 4 of my old rods?
hairygit:
If you have shells for them, yes. Where did you get the crank and rods from?

Crank and rods were from DK.
hairygit:
Call them and tell them what you found, and mention you're documenting the build on a bike forum. They seem to be pretty good at sorting problems, and may offer a partial refund or better.
