I reamed a set of big end bearings for my Sweet Pea with an adjustable reamer, well pleased with the results, certainly a jig or in the chuck of a lathe to keep the reamer square is a must for accuracy that small. Also, very fine cuts for further accuracy saved me a new set of big ent bearings for 5 years.
