    I don’t think anyone mentioned that the liners are installed into the rod ends, and outside of the needles. Not visa-versa. The rods are not hardened enough to sustain the load of the needles on their surface. The crank and the liners perform that task. It’s a cheap way to make a rod assembly. Have fun boating. R.T.
