Has anyone successfully installed a set of Eagle H beam rods (with the new "2000" bolts) on an OBD0 DOHC ZC???

I notched the cylinder walls, no problems there. But I have installed a rod, and turned the crank and it hits the main girdle hardcore. The bolt is almost flush with the outside of the girdle when it hits. There isn't even 1/32" between the rod and the edge of the girdle...

There is no notching to this, all I can think to do would be to cut a damn hole in the girdle for the rod to clear, and weld up some sort of support thing OVER the hole to clear the rod.

BAAAAAHHHHHHH! Why can't people make a part that fits???

I'll try to get some pics on here later for more clarification...
