Since several respondents are concerned about a bent rod, and we don't know it it is gas or diesel, which would make a big difference, why don't you pull out your spark plugs or injectors and measure the piston to head height, one at a time at top dead center for that piston. Should be the same dimension for all cylinders within a few thousands which could be in measurement error. Use a dial caloper and stick the little end down the cylinder to touch the top of the piston and let the base rest on the landing where the plug or injector rest when mounted. May save you a lot of unnecessary work, or if one is bent, potentially severe engine damage.
