              style="font-size:12.0pt">     So I am rebuilding a
              Standard Vanguard engine for a 1953 Morgan Plus 4. The
              connecting rods have been laying on a shed floor for
              decades. They cleaned up nicely, but the oiling hole
              through the connecting rod to the small end bushings were
              all rusted solid. I made a tool out of a piece of 1/8
              brass welding rod. I pounded the end flat, like a
              screwdriver, and pounded it in while turning with a small
              Vise-grips. It got the hole opened and rust poured out.
              The hole is about 0.180” diameter. I’ve been trying to
              find a long 3/16ths tube brush (like a pipe cleaner) to
              clean them out better, but no one makes one long enough.
              The brush needs to be about 5” long and the longest that
              McMaster Carr has is 3”. I could pull the small end
              bushings out and go at it from both ends, but the bushings
              in there fit the wrist pins perfectly and I would rather
              not mess them up if I can help it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

              style="font-size:12.0pt">     I have been considering
              buying a 12” long 3/16ths (.188”) drill bit and running
              that through. It might open up the hole a little bit,
              which might not be a bad thing.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
