Bring all the rods and the rod bearings youll be using too. Id let them measure everything again just to be safe. Theyll be able to correct anything that needs it before you discover it on your own...
MAKE SURE THEY DONT OVERTORQUE THE ROD BOLTS like my machine shop did. I will be having to re-purchase rod bolts due to their mistake that they wont man up to...
Good luck!
