First and foremost, we have been dedicating countless hours and resources toward our cleaning, polishing, and storage processes since the day we opened the doors. Having been in many shops as well as “parts businesses” over the years, I knew from day one that I wouldn’t be willing to settle for the way things have always been done. So, while most parts businesses list it dirty and throw it on a shelf to rust, we spend hours every day preparing each and every part , then carefully oiling and often wrapping the parts one at a time so you can be sure that what you see in the picture is what you receive.
Connecting Rods are removed and matched up with the correct ends. Please note that these are generally laser cut so one rod goes with only one end cap. We check the bolts at this time in order to ensure that they aren’t stripped. Each rod is then centrifugally polished, using a porcelain media and a soap mixture. It is then removed from the polisher, and any lodged porcelain is extracted from the piece. During this time, bearing surfaces are inspected and any surface that shows bearing marks, scratches, wear, etc…is discarded. Every rod has to be flawless, inside and out, in order to be listed. After this cleaning and inspection process, the rod is oiled for storage before the sale.
