[AT] Kubota M5700 noise

[Dave Maynard]

Actually, did not check length of connecting rod and its clearance from
head at TDC. But it's not traveling to close to the head as there would be
damage showing. Just have this new concern about the wrong rod being put in
by mistake, but that would have been short, not long.
