Amen to that!   I had a hell of a time getting those rods out (when doing my *recent Bobsy FF restoration project <https://alder.smugmug.com/Hobbies/1969-Bobsy-Formula-Ford/>*)  for exactly the same reason; years of moister and crap on the exposed rod down there. It would be nice if the entire rod was covered with casting material.
