Recondition connecting rods----- No but a quick check never hurts.
Replace pistons rings-----No
Replace rod bearings-----No
Polish crankshaft-----No


I have a gram scale that I balance my pistons and rods before I even take them to the shop. That way we can double-check each other. I always ask for a copy of the balance sheet for every assembly I have done. They also keep a copy too.
