Well I dropped the pan to find the obvious trashed rod bearing on #1 piston. The crank "looks" OK no deep scrathes.
Not knowing the real cause I am going to pull the motor and go thru the bottom end again.
Have a look at the photos, The bad bearing is obvious, but the #2 bearing does not look like it was new 600 miles ago. I pulled #4 just to compare and it is slighly better but not by much.
