The early non SD standard production forged rods are not of a grade of steel where applying a heat treating process is going to gain you much for the effort and then the money involved in resizing them.

1140 steel is like the average hardware store 8”” adjustable wrench .

BTDT!

I would much sooner polish them , lighten them at the pin end and then spend money on cryo treating them without the new rod bolts in, then load in the new bolts and check & resize as needed.
