Right now I'm finishing up a basic 5hp Briggs flathead build, and one of the parts I replaced was the connecting rod. I got a Raptor 3 rod (Briggs part #555208), and I made the mistake of not realizing that it's designed for a 0.020" ground crank. I saw that they can be honed out to the factory specs, but I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone have experience with doing this using home tools? I've done some looking around and from what I've seen most people have them done on a lathe. Is this something I need done at a shop?
Here's a link to the rod:
