It won't be a CASTING. It's drop forged EN 26 I think. Nev

Wasn’t thinking, of course drop forged steel.
I had one VB con rod slightly twisted and an artisan just twisted back to true!
Couldn’t do that with a cast assembly…
Sorry Rick, where is “ non skid” mentioned?

Skid is on Dong Xin’s rule.
The BLMC garage over the road from our house had a machine shop, they did complete engine rebuilds
in there and they had a con rod straightening jig/thing.
Rods had the mating faces ground and then the rod was honed round and to size.
The rod was bolted to the thing. The thing resembled a vertical face plate with a pin sticking out perpendicular to the plate.
Rod goes over pin, funny V block goes over gudgeon pin and if everything is nice n straight v blocks bits touch plate. simples.
The straightener was a big old pair of stilsons with aluminium wrapped around the jaws.

Ha, now I understand.
The ruler in the picture has a cork layer on the reverse to keep it steady…
Your garage across the road sounds like it has old school skills, sadly lacking in todays automotive enterprises.
