This is a very good point. Don't trust your parts that have been sent out for service/reconditioning to be suitably clean & ready reinstallation. Clean them again!
I had a set of rods rebuilt and neglected to take them apart and re-clean. When assembling one of the rods, I found the rod bolt felt "rough" when tightening. These rods are Pauter brand with bolts that thread into the rod body- no nuts. So you are tightening just the head.
Removed the offending bolt and found some grit around the shank of the bolt under the head. Leftover crud from the machine work. So I took all the rods and went thru them. Found more crud on others as well. Shame on me.
