Lots of questions
1. Do not remove any material from the rods unless it’s cracked and might otherwise fall off.
2. You can use an adapter for screwdriver heads on a torque wrench for the con rod screws. In the old days they would just snug them up by hand and peen over over the brass. You can do it that way, as well. I use LokTite on the threads.
3. You don’t have to remove the wrist pins unless they are failing.
4. Remove all that carbon. It will hinder exhaust flow which may cause running issues. Gas and oil of the time didn’t mix or burn well. You won’t have this problem with modern premix.
