I believe most of what's been said above is good advice; but I'm still slightly perplexed by the basic question.
Is it to be understood that these are a random pile of rods and caps which match neither each other nor the shaft?
Or is there reason to believe they all ran together at one time?
Sounds like you've exhausted the combinations, but a forensic approach might help - for example can you see any continuous marks on any rod / bearing which match up to corresponding marks on any cap?
I'm no expert on white metal bearings nor the fitting thereof, but I do think the rods and caps must seat together properly under bolt tension and if that's not the case it should be addressed before any foray into bearing scraping. If the two halves of the rod have a visible gap between them trouble will follow.
