As far as the rods hitting the camshaft, that wouldn't be a problem with an offset grind. The rod journals can't get any farther away from center at the outside, but the center of the journals gets moved out by making the journals smaller. The rods he's planning on using of course, would need to have smaller journals on the big end to fit the new smaller journals.

I'll let Jerry address your head comment.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
