[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5156572, member: 77939"] Ok. Really? Shot peening.....in extreme cases. I have rebuilt many, many motors.....never polished the rods....matter of fact.....only had one "thrown" rod(broke in half)....and Kawasaki had many of those(that year). Probably a manufacturing flaw. Sounds like polishing of any sort(rod) wouldn't have helped......sounds like the motor was pushed beyond design limits. Never saw a rod like that unless exposed for a while.......bores too....and when just neglected or abandoned. In any case....doesn't seem to have been a factor for you. [/QUOTE]
