I threw the old pistons out, had the shop press in new pistons. Just picked them up from the shop today, I'll have them take a close look at the connecting rods like you said.
I never saw an answer, were the rods that were re hung on to new pistons good to go or did they need straightening / resizing?
Especially the rod that took the pounding initially from the dropped seat, curious to see if it was damaged.
thanks
