Was it low on oil before the rod broke? If not, can you send the broken pieces to me? I can use my metallurgical lab. and look for defects, etc.

Broken rods that are not caused by low oil are almost always "fatigue failures", but the crack has to start somewhere. If the broken ends are not all mashed up the evidence will be there. Do NOT let the broken ends touch anything hard, or any remaining evidence can be lost.
