current thought is that due to the engine being seized twice before from oil starvation that the bearings were in less than optimal condition. A bearing spun and then caused a horrible rod knock and the movement of the yoke around the crankshaft caused tremendous stress that eventually shear the cap bolts off and then from there the rod was free to move around until it got smacked in two by the crankshaft.
