Ok I understand it for the most part; however, say I wanted to change out one of my rods and have a spare rod from another exactly the same motor. Would I go and take the two rod-crank bearing pieces, and swap them from current rod and cap that I don't want anymore and onto the new rod and cap that I want to use ? Or is it ok to use the bearings that are already in the other rod/cap from the other motor, I would assume not ok to do that because they are worn in to the different crank ?
