they are offset a little. i had to bump mine as the machine shop did the same and installed them in the center. thats why i bought all my own machine shop equipment to do my own motors.

SOMEONE POSTED the correct off set in here a while back just do a search. i used a dedicated piston pin press and just bumped them till they were correct. i would check the other machine work if they didnt do that correct. triple check all the stuff and write it down for reference so you have it.
i make a build sheet for all the motors i do.
