Was doing a total rebuild on my 2g turbo eclipse and ran across dsm graveyard. I ordered a set of reconditioned rods that I provided to said company. I talked to Jon walker first and he told me a week which I told my builder. A week turned into over two months and my machine shop getting as frustrated as me waiting. Finally got the rods in 2 and half months later and my engine was finished. Car ran good for about 5000 miles until it started to knock but not a knock like rod bearings. As time went on after work one day coming home my oil pressure began falling at a rapid rate. I pulled over and added more over and over till I got home. The whole back if my car was covered in oil as it was spraying out the exhaust and smoking bad. Upon pulling the motor I found the issue as I tore it down. They resized the little end of the number 3 rod way to big allowing the wrist pin to float back and forth digging a gouge in the cylinder the entire length of the stroke. It tore up the block and piston in that cylinder and ruined the rest due to metal from the whole thing circulating around engine lubricating system. So one careless machining process cost me a total of 4500 dollars I had in my build. I called Jon back and couldn't get a answer or reply from them so I was just Sol on this endeavor. I tell everyone to stay away and feel the pain of anyone ripped off from dsmgraveyard like myself. Stay away you have been warned!

I have no Doubt you got a faulty part, and they were extrodinarily slow delivering.
But:
You paid to build a High stress performance motor.
The person building the motor assembled a Piston onto the rod that failed.
As it was apart, and it is a critical failure point. The clerances need to be checked before final assembly regardless of who machined, supplied, manufactured, notrogen dipped or any other proccess.
Your builder should have caught this. Full stop, no excuses.
This is why you hire a reputable builder to build engines. Or like me you could do your own.
