Get new rods or this could happen to your engine. One of the #4 rod cap studs failed, the babbitt overheated and crankshaft propelled the broken cap through the side of my Model "B" engine. The #4 rod also decided to collide with the #3 rod and bend it.

That adds a new dimension to "I've cracked the block".
