Depending on the big end…
Depending on the big end assembly, you may need to lap the sleeve after it’s pressed into the con rod, so you’ll need access to a lathe to make the lap. “Tuning for speed” by Phil Irving is a good book to have for this sort of work.

It’s a simple enough job, but it pays to have a press to hold the wheels when undoing and tightening the nuts, and a dial gauge and vee blocks for checking the alignment of the assembly, also a heavy copper hammer to belt it into alignment. (Or a hardwood post to hit the wheels on).
