Looking at the small end of the connecting rod on this machine, there is a worn radius at the, say, 12:00 and 6:00 positions on both the left and right sides.  Is this acceptable?  Notice in the pic the slight clearance between the little end and the straight edge.  Is this the result of not running the RM bearing and billeted thrust washers?  Anyway, please give me an idea of this is OK.  The ID is within spec.
