What we do at the loop. Jack up one end of the engine (we have 25 ton hydraulic jacks, one on each side) take the weight off the drivers, use a lining bar to rotate until they line up. Start with drivers 2 and 3 because the rod goes on both pins. Then 1 and 4 depending which end the jacks are at. Usually have to do 1 side at a time, because you need the rods down to get at the knuckle pins in. Thenn rotate the other side to be down and repeate
