alot of times we would find a good set of used rods 3/8 rods blast them recon the rods with rod bolts. with the sps bolts or arp bolts and call it good .i had the some of the 7/16 gm rods but in alot of mild builds you do not need them . as for working the beam i use a drum sander start at 6o grit to 80 to 180 on the beams .you may have to pick thru more them one set to find a set of 8 that can be used .the rod can have some off set when stamp and to get the stamping marks out you can get very thin on the beam so yes you can turn the rods to junk and when done you can play hell getting a weight match. a stock gm rod can take over 450+ hp with some to no work on them . any time you can take a casting marks or forging mark s out of any thing it help s with any stress points as long as it there to take off.. and helps to check for cracks .you need to find a good set sand the beams re work them get them shot peened and re built and much more but for the money and time you can buy a better new rod . for the price just to buy the bolts and re build a set of use rods there s not much more to buy new and i do not used many stock rod builds on stroker builds or any big hp builds . if you add you time them your past that price
