mine did the same thing with less than 300hrs on it. Looked like the rod bolt failed.

If you replace the bolts you will need to have the big end rechecked for round. I have never once seen a rod that didn't need re-sized after replacing bolts and I have built engines my entire career. fyi

Merry Christmas to you too!

I always have rod checked before use on a rebuild.

Well thats good practice. I didn't know that so thought I was giving helpful advice.
