The rods are i beam type rods ,suppose to be stronger then stock rods ,sir bushed ,arp bolts. They ground down a little bit into the rod its self right where the top of the connecting rod touches the rod.

I had to grind those rods before on the shoulder, it should not get into the shaft of the rod, can you take a pic ?
