crank eat but eagle rods!!! what is the cause??

ok, well my cracked not too much ago and i took the whole engine apart to be on the safe side.
i notice that rod end play was wayyy too much, like 1/4" on 2 rods. look like the eagle rods eaten the crank toward the rear engine side. its like if the rod was pushed that direction.
machine shop doesn't have a clue as why it did that. main side play was good, only rods wasn't.
anyone have an idea of what could have cause this? i dont want to put a new crank and have the same thing happen.
thanx

Check the pistons and see if the rods chewed the same side as the crank. is it an automatic or manual?
