Jeff:

I have come to learn (the hard way) that anytime I do a rebuild, I always put a new Connecting Rod on, even if the old one looks good.

Now, maybe the PO simply forgot to tighten up the bolts, torqued them to the wrong value, or ETC. For the cost of a new Rod, it is not worth tearing it back down again if your are luck that an implosion didn't occur.
