Chris, the number 2 rod bearing is notorious for failing in 951s, especially those that have been chipped.

I pulled the bottom end of my son Dan's 951 last winter and the bearing was wiped, on the verge of damaging the crank journal. The rest were fine. Chances are that yours failed and broke the rod cap, and the crank came around and pounded everything into smithereens.

The top bearings are #2, the bottom is half of #1.
