Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Doesn't matter what happened before you walked through the door.

But I does matter that the original poster, listening to guys like you and MOPAROFFICIAL, did not have a clue as to what needed to be checked.

And it is possible that the shop checked the rods for straightness, as you agree that has some importance, as your shop does that.
That maybe you would have educated the OP on that issue,but you did not,, and now you are complaining to me because I did..
