If that's the case, it is highly recommended to get the connecting rods
checked for roundness and get resized where needed. The crankshaft end of
the rod goes out of round with time especially with a bad bearing. With
conservative driving, it would probably last a while, but if you make it
work hard like I would do, it will be back to square one or worse within a
1,000 miles
