Would you know the axis of the bend in the 603.97 rods? Does the rod bend around an axis that is parallel to the engine axis or about an axis that is transverse to the engine axis?

If it's transverse, the visible difference is obvious. It also explains the ovalizing of the cylinder on the front and rear cylinder walls.

If it's longitudinal, you might not see it. The ovalizing in this scenario escapes me.
