@timothysimpson1561 At best the surface is scarred and will blow the seals in a matter of hours. If all those workers were making Western wages it wouldn't even be cost effective if it came out as good as new. BIG respect for resourcefulness and efforts--they apparently don't have a better option or this could tide them over until proper expensive rebuild/replace. We'd never think of repairing a rod lk that, it's likely already gashed and it will be more after such press methods, that it's not perfectly straight not the problem, surface damage that's bearing quality cannot be retrieved, naturally also loss of rod strength and/or fatigue resistance likely but this is not a permanent solution anyway.
