The bearing one was from lack of lubrication to that big end.
The engine was then rebuilt and.....
the conrod gave up just 9 hours of use after. It wiped out 4 stainless valves and a cylinder barrel as well. Just a bit of bad luck really
latest engine build has held out so far. (this is not a road bike, the engine is'nt standard so stuff can go wrong a little more often with expensive consequences)
