Rods

I just priced out a set of rods which were done but not picked up- family problem
ARP bolts, perfect sizing, balanced, maggged but no side grind and no (mil spec) shot peen
wheelabrator is NOT shot peening, nor is glass beading.

Import rods are torqued then machined and the take quite a bit off
you get the rod and take it apart and put it on your crank and loose the bottom end
why
because if you had put the rod between a couple of pieces of hardwood in your vice and retorqued it you would have found it out or round- maybe 2 or 3 thou
the major materiel removal changes the stresses in the rod (my theory)
so
take your new rods and dial bore them
then take them apart and clean and put them back together and torque or use the length method- do it acouple of times and measure again
if off you have a couple of choices
send them back or redoo
