Pieces of steel in cylinder??

I would never run a straightened rod... They are more prone to fatigue and break after you bend them...


About 75% of all remand sbc's of most any machine shop had the rods untwisted or straightened...the rest bought better rods.
It's all slight... but they are still.
Trust me when I say that I wish you knew what you were talking about just as much you wish you knew what you were talking about. Mopars dont really have that issue... maybe why you dont know =limited experience.
I dont know half the **** a lifelong machinist knows, but I'm honest in my experience.
I have done rods, i have run a line hone, ran a mill, did seats, ck-10 honing cylinders,guides and few other things. I have not only worked on mopars, I have worked on all other makes. My knowledge isn't limited to one.
