How tight can they be in the small end?
Just fitted one to my 350 bullet and while it slid through the small-end it took both thumbs to advance it. You can feel some resistance to the piston rotating on it (as in you can rock the piston from front to back with one finger but it stays where it was left rather than flopping from one side to the other).
I'm used to them being somewhat looser but maybe this is something that will "wear in" in the first few miles? Should ease off as the temperature increases too with steel in an alloy conrod.
Or should I take it apart again and relieve the small end slightly? I think it would just take a gentle rub with some fine grade wet and dry on the end of a finger.
