MAN Diesel Generator

Tore down a MAN 301 4 cyl diesel generator and the question is if anyone knows if the connecting rods are supposed to be curved. One of the guys overfilled the genny by 4 gallons and ran it

Let's see some pix. Why did you tear it down?

Just overfilling the crankcase should not lead to bent rods.
