What did the bearings look like? Did all bearings show signs of oil starvation, or just the rod that broke? Was this a hardened pump driveshaft? Did the rod big-end break, or did just the rod beam break?

If several bearings show signs of oil starvation, the oil pump driveshaft went first. If only the one rod and bearing shows signs of damage, that rod went first.
