tuner toys rods not fitting pins? anyone else?

I have a set of vitara pistons and tt rods, but the pin doesnt fit the rod at all. not one pin fits one rod. has anyone else had this problem? i ran a search and saw jago had one that needed a slight machining but these just outright dont fit..

it appears as though there will be a very thin layer of the brass, if thats even what it is, inside the pin end of the rod, if any is left at all. if it is all removed that seems to me like it wouldnt be good for it seeing as its there to begin with...
