@@matthewjenkins1161 absolutely, steel indicates a wide range of temperatures through colour very well. Anyone who has heat treated steel can see this was very close to 600°C. The question is will it affect their reliability - presumably Barum Engine's experience tells them not? Clearly the con rods have not gone through a precise heat treatment programme, just like I say doesn't seem like a very good idea getting them that hot - but it probably tricky getting the pin in at 300°C

When you are fitting those heat up type rods it is a good idea to give the piston some heat as well so that the pin falls into them. You don't need much, not even to the boiling point of water but just enough to expand the hole a bit. We used to put each piston into a thick plastic bad and put that into a pot of not yet boiling hot water off of the tea-room stove. Maybe some of the viewers don't know this but having a pin get stuck half way in can very quickly turn into an expensive disaster because quite often the piston gets distorted and becomes unusable as the only way to get things apart again is to press the pin out and back then you could not get loose pistons so it became pretty expensive pretty quickly. Also, back then each set of 4 pistons were very close to the same weight and size BUT the next box would be a few grams off and 3 or 4 thou different so the "mix and match" from box to box was not such a good idea. Mahle were the most consistent back then but even they had quite big differences from box to box some times. Which means you ALWAYS bored each hole in the block according to the actual piston you were going to put into it. Eventually the Japanese piston manufacturers showed everybody (including the Germans and Americans) how to do it properly.
