As detailed in my book that is specific to this GMC rod swapping into the Stovebolt engines, it is a relatively easy fix to those that have a little bit higher degree of skill and machinist abilities. It was probably not intended or meant to be a complete DIY process to those that don't possess these skills or have access to certain machine tools and equipment because it does require certain knowledge and abilities that most people just don't have. But, glad to see you were able to get there with time and patience.
