Problem is a bit more complicated than that, if I recall from Boston Bob's website. It's more a problem of stretching main rod end bolts that create the problem over time. They stretch, the rod end elongates opening up for loss of oil pressure and something seizes, and the rod comes through the case, The fix is a different rod end bolt. Hopefully you get a repair before fatal internal failure. Bob goes into this in depth.
