[QUOTE="motometal, post: 393071, member: 24727"] regarding the rod polishing-I believe that part of the reasoning behind rod polishing (in general) is to remove stress risers, that is, remove all of the imperfections in the surface of the part. A component will fail in an area with a notch, sharp edge, pit, drilled hole, etc. Polishing a rod for this purpose is only useful if the rod is possibly going to be near the point of failure from fatigue, tensile forces, etc. I wouldn't want to say that rods NEVER fail in dirt bikes, but it's pretty rare if they ever do.
