Just curious...does this tool prevent misalignment due to "slop" in the bolt holes...or due to distortion as the bolts are torqued and is equalized by lateral pressure of the tool...and later locked when the rods are torqued?
Wouldn't the rod bolts have shoulders to automatically align rod & cap?
Sorry, I was bored and was just reading my manual...with no intention of removing my connecting rods.
The tool seems like "overkill!" Couldn't alignment just be "eyeballed?"...or by running a straightedge along the side & looking for light?
