With the damage you describe and the forensic difficulty of interpreting the sounds it made before failure, there seems to be (from here) two possible causes. The first is that the crank was ground incorrectly for the inserts used. Which could also mean the insert on that cylinder was mislabeled, Secondly the rod may have not been torqued correctly. Follows a list: Was plastigauge used on all journals? Were the journals checked for uniformity on return from grinding? (including taper and egg out of round) Were the rod bolts reused or magnafluxed to assure integrity? Were the rods resized and checked for roundness? Was the engine lineboared? Did the oil pressure have any waver in it or lower than expected numbers? What was the reason the engine was rebuilt, and what showed up when it was torn down? is there damage to the piston indicating repeated abuse such as hitting something? was there a fracture in the rod cap that progressed?
These are the things I would look at first. Measurement of remanufactured parts is critical. Look for the numbers on the bent bearing shell. Look at and measure the journal in multiple places if possible. also look at the front main bearing as it is taken apart. Good luck, Jim

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
