In the process of freshening up a Honda Rancher 350 engine and noticed that the rod and the crank have a bunch of heat coloring on them. No other evidence the motor got hot and it ran well enough for the few seconds I had it running. I have it almost assembled already but I figured I'd see what you guys thought.

That's precisely why I try to stick to Honda on small engines. I wasn't finding any decent info on any forums about it but just googled used rods and cranks and every used one I see for sale has the same coloring. Maybe it was part of the machining process or something.
