While installing the rods onto my pistons I noticed the wrist pin had some extra resistance when coming out of one side of the small end bushing and found a small triangle mark on one side of the brass bushings possibly from when it was pressed in?

Is this something minor I can get away with by lightly rubbing some sand paper on the end or should I ask for a new rod?

Packed it up for now Ive decided its not worth the risk and will request a new rod, Still curious what others think and if anyone has seen this before
