Beams were polished to

beam polishing is wrong. a light sanding and shotpeening is what should be done. and magnafluxing is not a guarantee , it is done so we do not start with a cracked part. and many times a rod fails second, something else goes bad first

Beam polishing is done to eliminate stress risers in the rod. Before we had all of these aftermarket rods to choose from it was standard operating procedure. We even "boxed" the beams by welding sheet metal on the beams in an effort to strengthen the rod.
