Nope, that is from a max effort "race motor" that went dry of coolant on the track and lost a rod bearing. _________________ Toofah King Bad

Put an AccuSump in the next motor to protect the rod bearings. Coolant is a separate issue and lack thereof usually affects the top end more than the mains and rods.
If you had some lost and blue rod bearings (more than the main bearings) you had a cavitation problem.
