I have had loads of rods that needed re claiming, which you can not see that they are out with the human eye over the years and quite a few twisted rods even on SOHC's.
As for the price of the correct measuring equipment it can be very expensive and take a lot of experience to use correctly. ;)

Not sure what is meant by reclaiming a con rod Graham?

I think the yanks call it resizing but, i have always known it as reclaiming. I use a Sunnen machine ;)
Bryanj:
Ted, normal a rod goes oval with the dimension across thr bolts staying standard and other way from rod o cap getting a bit bigger so you carefully take a small amount off the pads with bolt holes in then hone the hole circular again
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That sounds an amazing process - presumably you can still fit an off the shelf bearing shell, I guess were talking a really small amount of metal removal.
