conrods gone blue!!!!
Hi all i need a bit of advice. Recently i unfortunately melted a piston in my fiesta turbo and when i took it apart tonight i found that the very tops of all the conrods have started to turn blue. This to me is worrying!! I dont want to put it back together to find that one has distorted. Should i bite the bullet and buy a new set of rods or can i get them checked in any way to make sure they are still true.
Good advice would be appreciated

You can get them chequed. and i would while there out. On a different engine where the gudgen pins are an interferance fit you have heat up the
rod to assemble / disasemble the pistons, and this can leave a slight blueing on the rods, and has been fine, in these circumstances, but i am not
familiure with your type of engine, so i would get them chequed, better to
be safe than sorry.
