| Did you have the bearing locater tab in the notch in the rod and cap respectively? Also make sure you haven't rotated the cap 180 degrees on the rod.
The mains should be marked front to rear with a cast in arrow pointing to the front.
If you're having damage like that, you'll have to work through the rods and bearing caps one at a time, assembling them to the journals, then checking them for movement. I wouldn't put a damaged rod bearing back into an assembly.
If you can't get it worked out, I would take them all to the machine shop and get them matched up for you.
