HI Steve,
Your thinking is right , only I would Block off the two holes in the rod end and only put the groove in the Cap but as you say Not right to the Edge
the Reasoning behind this is the load is on the rod and not the cap and the oil will flow out both sides of the rod this gives a solid oil film on the rod half
this is not a theory but from casting and machining a lot of rods and main bearings
Hope it helps
