Worth an hour, to make it right? Nicked 'new' bearing...no good.
Say you had the rod fixed? That depends. Fitting bearings into a split rod, you want two things. First, of course, correct clearance between the bearing and journal. But, especially since that hole has been messed with, all in the same breath, you should get the 'pinch' the bearing halves need to lock in.
I do a dry fit on mine, putting the bearings into the rod, put the cap in place, and just tighten the rod bolts until snug. All you want is for things to seat. Then hold the rod up to the light...bearing halves should be together, but a very slight gap between the rod and cap. If I can see ANY light, and the gap is less than .001, it's good. When the rod bolts are torqued, that gap closes, lightly pinching the bearing halves together, locking the bearing into place in the rod.
If the bearing halves are not locked in...can spin. For what it's worth.
