Another oil pressure thread

Sure, the man has made some poor decisions, but berating him and making assumptions about the root cause of the crank failure was absolutely unnecessary.

Cranks do break on occasion. Locating the cause is usually based on speculation & theory (ageing vibration damper, transmission issues, etc). To blame this crank failure on a botched overhaul that was reworked over 12mnths ago is unreasonable.

Last year, I carried out an out of chassis overhaul (which included having the block cleaned, crack-tested, machined and counterbored) only to have the block crack & leaking coolant behind the air compressor a couple of weeks later. Sometimes you're just unlucky!
