If you can get the pipe plug out, the pushrod will slide out of the block and look like this. The shinny part is where it slides in and out in the machined passage in the engine block. The ends are interchangeable, their is nothing special or different about either end, although you might see a little different wear pattern of the ends.
The overall length shoud be 3.25 inches. If it is shorter than that by 1/8th inch or more, obtain and install a NEW pushrod.
