Hi All
Modern High Performance Rods are Resized all the time because of stretch to keep them round for fitting Shells because the Tolerances are a lot tighter.
The rod and cap are machined not filed
My Thoughts on this are if you have that much wear to think about filing then you will also have wear on the crank pin
so a rethink is in order if just wishing to keep engine running and not doing alot of hard miles filing caps and scraping is fine
a regrind and remetaling is the long term fix
