    just got my pistons back....

    .....from the machine shop , the small ends of the rods are discolored as in high heat, is this normal ? I understand they are press fit but wouldnt that weaken the rod ? they are aftermarket forged rods.
    an amc was my first car and so will also be my last car/jeep

    they usually heat the ends of the rods to press the piston pins on sometimes they overdo it. I would bring em back and run it by them.
