OUCH! That sucks! Was the crank turned at the machine shop? Did they tighten them to much then loosen them then re-torque them? Was it hard to turn over before you started it? I wonder did they not turn the crank enough and it was to tight once the engine got hot? or maybe the rod was not machined correctly? I'd think if it was to loose it would have broke the rod not galled it?
