Yeah, I STILL haven't found a straight answer on what has ferrules and what doesn't. I was told my LQ4 was not supposed to have them, but did.
Either way, if the bolt snugs back up when you loosen it all the way, put a pair of vice grips on the head of the rod bolt and pull. It comes out fairly easy.

My 2000 LS1 had them. As was mentioned previously, they can be easily removed.
Also had the 853 heads. The 853 is cast into the head on the left end of the head, just below where the valve cover sits.
