Hi, A bent conrod will only alter the TDC and BDC hieght, not the stroke.

i might swap No1+2 and No3+4 around to see if Rods are the same length.

Have you put a dti on the fly wheel end and checked for runout.
Also on removing the crank inspect the bearings for bruising on there sides.

I havent checked flywheel trueness, but will do in abit.

I think the crank bent, and to straighten it with a grind, has put the stroke out.???
