 Sorry for the nonefi content (except that efi engines break more things).
 
 How was the rod bearing on the bent one??  Mine was gone - still carrying 50 
lbs
 at idle with no insert.  The rod siezed on the crank, bent, the released, at
 least that is what I assumed. the piston was really banging on the crank 
throws.
