You put in ARP rod bolts.... did you resize the rod ends after the bolts or did you slap in rod bolts and hit the road?

It doesn't but I stumbled upon your build threads somehow yesterday and read this one. I had a bad feeling when I saw the pics of the ARP rod bolts then saw that you posted it came apart. If you install ARP's and don't resize the rods then you get kabloooey... as you already now know.

That block/rotating assembly was rebuilt back to stock specs (i.e. stock pistons, rods, and crank were reused) by a machine shop 
It was done by someone else and i bought it like that. I did verify all the bearings were in fact new Federal Mogul. Among the plethora of unknown variables, shoddy machine work, rotating assembly out of balance, tuning issues, unknown other issues....there is no telling what that failed motor's secrets hold. At this point i can't hold anything accountable because I plain don't know how/why it failed.
