I know of two failures here in the UK (neither on one of my engines) of big 
end bolts, either shearing or loosening, causing the rod / piston assembly 
to blow a piston sized hole in the block. both were using Carillo pattern 
rods, not OE Carillo stuff. Not quite what you want.

Perhaps Steve Hall at TR Enterprises or Tony Lindsay Dean at Kingston 
Sportscars here in the UK can give you some real facts.

Regards

Tony
