If they are stock rods, they are cracked. If you are lucky, you might see small variations in the metal where the caps were cracked off, like a jigsaw puzzle piece. Those, as you may already know, only fit on one way.
I've always set and marked them for one specific direction when removing though.

Quite right you are....I decided to do a hell of a research...LOL i got a buddys 420a down to my shop and pulled his oil pan for him and his bedplate and such and found that the two little nipples on the rod go towards the front...Thanks tho guys.
