Well, yes, I have!
A number of years ago I had a proper Mini what had an 850 cc motor in it.
In the process of restoring the car ( I had bought it out of a junk yard)
I spun a big end bearing. I went to MiniCity and bought one (!) big end
bearing.
Pulled the rod cap off, pushed the rod up the cylinder, filed and honed the
burr off the crank, slapped it back together and drove it (hard) for a couple
more years.
Of course, I had to lift the motor out and off the tranny to accomplish the
task.
