Looking for pics of Stoker Rods clearanced for cam

[TurboBuRick]

Assembling a stroker and ran into a little snag. Molnar rods are not clearanced for the cam. #1, #3 and #5 are all making contact. Looking for some pics of rods that have a provision or been modified.

TIA

My Molner rods had more clearance than other forged H beams, but I had to still grind .040 off the cam side on all the rods where the bolts come through, and then taper the bolt threads slightly on those 3 rods until they were flush with the rod where it was ground.

Rick,

That's going to affect the balance of the rotating assembly. Hopefully that hasn't been done yet and you don't have to pay twice.

Good pics Ttype, I like the lined paper for reference, good idea.

I sent my rods to Weber Racing for the machining. They have a jig. It is a subtle difference that is difficult to convey.
