When I first built an improved engine for my Ulsteroid I fitted a Phoenix crank. I had a set of nicely matched rods but they were from a reground crank and were 10 thou undersize. None of the remetallers I found was prepared to take the big ends out to standard size without remetalling so I set to and hand-scraped the ends to fit using the back of a sharpened hacksaw blade. The engine did over 20,000 miles until one of the new little end bolts I had used lost its head. I got away with that, except that the rod cracked as a result.
