most likely it should be right. the rods are the weakest link and should bend before any more damage is caused.
are you going to use the motor or just for parts?

if it was me, and I was going to use the engine, I'd remove all rods and have them checked, and have the crank checked. it would suck anus to spend days fitting and find its fuqt.
