Oh, lord, that sounds terrible. So are we reasonably certain the course of events is:
1. Oil is lost, but we haven't determined for certain the reason
2. Oil pressure drops as a result
3. Rod bearing fails
If that's the case then the rods are not the problem, but merely a victim, oil pressure is not the illness, merely a symptom and the true culprit is whatever is causing the oil loss.
I know I have no plans to modify my engine beyond things like free breathing and an oil cooler, but a triple stack of aftermarket meters are part of the plan, water temp, oil temp and oil pressure. Those are the basics and I have never trusted stock gauges.
