whats up. well i went by the local machine shop to let them know that im gonna want them to install a set or ARP rod bolts and press out my old LS pistons and press in a set of P30. the owner of the shop said that i should get my rods reconditioned so im like sure why not. now the thing i wanna know, when they recondition the rods, what do they do? they just make sure the rods r not ovaled when they press in the new rod bolts right? does reconditioning mean that the rods will be shot peened as well? i 4got to ask the dude about that.

well is this a fair price for everything: press out old pistons, press in new ones, press out old rod bolts and press in new arp rod bolt, and have the rods reconditioned for $150? oh yea, and im get n these things back the same day. gonna rip apart the motor at my friends shop early in the morning, remove the psitons/rods, take em over to the machine shop like around 12 noon, get them back hoepfully by 5 ish, and build the motor back. look n to be done by around 9 pm. cant have down time on my car

 

maybe they shot peen them

 

when they recondition a rod, that means honing the big and small end to ensure that they are round and not tapered. as far as i know most machine shops wont shot pean the rods, when they recondition them, they might mill the the rod caps to get better bearing crush

 

thanks, just wanted to see what u guys would think
