I never had my rods checked for geometry, but I did have them checked for trigonometry. The machinist made me cosine the contract and then went off on a tangent.
I could have said check the big ends for out of round, taper and bell mouth. It takes more words.
Again, IMHO, it's the machine shops fiduciary responsibility to protect the customer from what he doesn't know. Part of the process of this hobby or profession as I view it is to provide continual education to the customer. If you ain't doing that, you are failing the customer.
