Easy for me to say as I aint footin the bill, but I wouldn't even consider just sticking another set of rod bearings in there. If I am looking at pics right crank needs ground. Plus feeling a ridge 1/2 way around to me is worse than all the way around? You have no idea what the piston pin bushings look like on the other end of that rod. I would be putting new pin bushings in and getting rods checked and resized, check pins while you are at it. I can see why you are hesitant because once you start it will probably turn into a major over haul? Maybe an illusion in your picture but shank of rod bolt looks smaller than the threaded section? Caps do not look like they have anything to locate them on the rod so the bolt shank should be a reasonably tight fit in the bolt holes of cap, I think? I dont have much experience with the Perkins in your 165 so I am sure others will correct me. Another thought is were there match marks on cap and rod? maybe was out 180? It would probably be a good idea to get someone in the know to have a look at it in person. Maybe someone from your local automotive machine shop?
