Yes you can bush a 1.094 rod to .990, but why would you want to? Only reason I can see is if you are using stock rods and at that, by the time you pay someone to re-condtion them, bore them for the bushing, press them in,drill them for oil and hone them to size, your about a $100 away from a brand new set of H beam rods .If your entertaining .990 pins, then you must be into some sort of performance build anyhow, so stock rods would not be the best choice there as well. Perhaps you can explain with more information, and we can better understand the direction your heading.

Its a budget build and I was looking at the 440-source stock replacement rods. @ $269, the price is right, but I'm also looking at a set of Scat (or some ebay import) H-beams as well. This isn't a race motor, so if you want to spend your money & send me the rods, go ahead. But the budget for rods is max $400.

What would you gain at this point?
