I didn't read the whole thread. Maybe someone answered your question already. The rod bolt did not break first... If the rod bolt broke first your cap would not be blue. Your failure is a typical spun bearing failure... The bearing spins and gets tossed out then your rod beats on the crank with no bearing (creating heat and the bluing) this goes on till your rod bolts break.
You would have seen a drop in oil pressure also. |

This just came today; read the article on Optimization of clearance design for high performance engine bearings. Maybe should start a new thread on engine bearings and clearances. |

I figured spun bearing, trying to see why, oil pressure was 65-70 when it happened, I will know if it was oil pressure issue soon as I see others, if other rod bearings look beat could be detonation, we will find out more soon... trying to find time to tear engines out, hope Sunday since I will not be boating lol

It could also have been an out of round rod end. To tight of bearing clearances. etc. etc.
