In most cases where you have a broken rod the easiest way to tell if it was rod bearing/crank failure or if the rod simply just broke is to see if the rod is still free on the crank. I have seen failures of both types, but in most cases where the rod simply just breaks it will still be free on the crank and the rod bearing/crank will not be hurt badly or burnt up looking. Now if the rod breaks and the crank and bearings are scalleded, burnt up, or simply just disentegrated then that is usally where your problem lies. Hope this helps.
