Anyone know of any machine shops that would do this? Rods need to be shaved 1mm on each side in order to work. The few places ive called in Leicester wont do this?

Why would you want to do this, rather than buy rods/pistons that fit and have the same CR?

By machining it your comprimising the integrity of the rod, which is probably why the machine shops dont want to do it
