if you are worried about it i know where you can get a rod replaced

thanks for the reply! i know there are thousands of different variables and to get a real answer you would have to take a look at it, but i appreciate the insight and wont hold you to anything. there are likely no fewer than 6 gallons through the engine, and the top of the piston and sleeve walls look clean which leads me to believe there is no grime or dirt in there. i have just never really felt the notch before, but honestly dont think it is something that i have ever checked for in the past either.
