Do you know the Olver's history from before it was stored outside?
The only bent rods I have seen like that were from when the cylinder was running and suddenly full of water. (Or if the engine went 'under' the water while running.)
Years ago a neighbor was going to restore his Cockshutt. (model 40, maybe) He took it to work and pressure washed it. Not realizing that the spray was going into the air cleaner and filling it up. He got on, hit the starter and it bent at least one rod and locked it up. He had to overhaul it before he painted it.
A Cousin back about 1980 had a nice early 70s Camaro. He ran a garage at his house. The road he lived on had a low-water bridge that flooded if there was a big rain. He loaned the car to a customer who tried to cross the flooded bridge with it. Even though the water was less than a foot deep over the bridge, it sucked up water and bent a rod. I guess the water splashed up and went into the intake.
