if the rod cap and bearing were damaged for 3 weeks before, how come the owner didnt notice any odd engine noise? a loose or damaged rod cap would
result in some bad engine noise due to oil clearances for that rod and crank and also, how was your tech able to determine it was 3 weeks ago and not 2 weeks ago or a week ago
