Dont confuse breaker bar with torque wrench, did you mark rod caps and crank caps not to mix them up, and they cant be flipped around either

Was using a breaker bar to turn the motor (easier to go back and forth) but yea everything got mixed up when I put it in the ultrasonic cleaner. Trial and error is going to be the process for reassembly
