and I gues if I ask: "what does priming the engine mean?" that would be a question and an answer all in one.

You need to take the rods to the machine shop and have them checked that they are not the problem that made the bearings go out. (not sized correctly the first time by the machine shop) You wont have to take the pistons off unless they need to resize them. When you do get it all back together make sure you prime the engine. That is what they are talking about. Make sure you use the correct primming tool (under $20.00) used on a drill. Hook an afetrmarket gauge up to be sure you have correct oil preassure before firing that engine up.
