[Fot] Overheated parts

Maybe the blue colour doesn't mean that much.  When you have a new exhaust
manifold, it will turn all 
sorts of blue after a short run. Maybe, if the cranckshaft is not bent, or
only minimal out of balance, the damage is not serious? Probably the
Carrillo rods will be still as strong as before the overheating.

The oil pump broke in my TR4 and roasted the bearings. The Moldex steel
crank and Carillo rods are not damaged but are now a blue color from being
overheated. The machine shop is wondering if it is ok to use them. What are
FOT thoughts? It takes 6 months to have another crank made.
