Yes, they were reconditioned. The shop said they were "perfect" as I recall.
Since the problem pin and rod are in the same cylinder that was scuffed from the overheating episode, it sure seems it might have something to do with that. Might just be a coincidence, but that's the angle I'm going to use when I show them the damage. Maybe they overheated it when they installed the pins. All the rods seem to have the same discoloration from the heat, (If that's normal).
If excessive heat is a possibility, I don't know how hot the rod could have gotten when the engine overheated compared to the temps they put them through to install the pins. I suppose overheating them might make the end soft and then the hole could enlarge over time.
