It is official, rods are toast. Now rebuilders

It's only "official" when it is disassembled and the problem seen. No one can see through the block and oil pan. I don't care how good your "rebuilder" is.

very true

if it were me, I would pull the pan and start inspecting the rods myself

once you know WHAT the problem is you can start thinking of your options as far as rebuilding or replacing that slant 6
