<VV> troublesome rod cap

[Michael Kovacs]

 I took a good measurement and did a lot of eyeballing. Looks like the ARP bolts are angled in just a bit. So I hit it with a BFH . 
 Actually just some gentle persuasion with the ball peen with the nut in place. It fit like a charm after 10 mild taps.
 I did check for the apparent sharp edge and gave it a really minor chamfer, 'bout .002R

Michael, check to see if there is a sharp edge at the rod cap holes. Once in awhile the maching to get the flat surfaces flat then to hone the rod bearing bore can leave a sharp edge that can catch on the rod bolt threads. Filing the inside of those holes to smooth those edges might do the trick for you.
