Default Re: Steel rod life expectancy

In a situation like mine , where you lose an aluminum rod..........was it a bearing / oiling failure that caused the rod to fail...........or the rod getting kicked out of shape that made it "appear" to be a bearing failure? Hard to say.........the crank has bearing metal transfer that was obviously hot...........but why? Which came first ? Is the oil system adequate ?
Rods probably have 120ish runs on them.
