    Mike, I think you found your problem…I would replace both rods personally, don’t like the looks of either rod movement, someone has been in that engine for sure. The .002 ring end gap is way too small…the .005 is bare minimum. Fleetwin should be able to tell you what a good ring end gap would be.
