Yes they are a powdered metal rod that is cast as once piece and cracked. The resulting break fits together perfectly. I have heard these rods give way before the crank. I would just have the crank journals polished and install all new rod bearings, obvioulsy replace the bad rods and have the others crack checked as well as the crank magnafluxed and checked.
