Rods, out of round? Need input
I called my machine shop up today, and they said that my rods are out of round on the endcap/crank side. He said its one of the worst cases he's seen in a long while.
Is this something LS1's are known for?
I guess its something you cant machine out to fix, right? (generally speaking)
Or is there anything I can say to this guy to double check?
I dont know much about internals, so I really dont know what to ask to absolutely confirm that I need new rods, or at least to convince me. All I know is I'm sick of this never ending project. All the motor has left to do is get balanced
any input is greatly appreciated,
-Jason

Are these stock cracked rods if so they may be non repairable if this is the case I'll send you a set free you pay shipping ther out of my 98 vette 50k on them will need bolts if they are aftermarket find a new shop that will recond. Ive had rods destroyed put in press to fix cap and then hone to size
