All the rod bearings look like this one, almost good enough to reuse.

Should I bother checking a ring gap or two, or is it more of a piston strength/top ring land design issue? After a second look, I see what guys are talking about when they say the top ring land is very thin.

I've never broken anything this bad before...it was broke when I got it, and I was hoping to learn something from the autopsy before feeding the dumpster.
