It looks like someone drove that rod out of the block from the bottom with a socket extension, maybe a long 3/8 drive extension I've never done anything like that More than once Astute observation on the lack of heat transfer on those two bearings Time to resize or replace them two rascals

As long as they aren't high spots they'll hold oil ... wait , that's behind the bearing ...

The marks he sees are transferred from the rods surface, I would be suspect of the quality of that resize job , don't expect the rod lengths to be uniform either.
