ummmm, I think the idea was to hav a machine shop polish and balance the rods, not you with a fucking die grinder or some other shit.

Well, some of us don't have to go and have the machine shop do every thing for us. At least those of us that have the tools, resources, and ability to do things for our selves don't.

personaly i think it is a waste of time but the theory is sound. If you just shotpeened them you'd be better off. I've also always shaved the piston instead of the rod when installing itr or ctr pistons and I've never had any problems. If any stress risers were going to be introduced it'd be where the rod was shaved.

No offence man, but you did ask US if it was right. So aparently you should've brought them to a machine shop. Honestly if you've never done it before, and didn't read a good book or HOWTO. You should've brought them to a shop.
