One thing I have learned in mechanics. The second you think there is something wrong, stop. Best example is detonation. If you hear it knocking or the computer shows, don't push it, fix it.

If this guy had thrown a wrist pin. Well that is bad news. But driving it longer with all the metal bits crunching through other parts of the engine or the cuts back on the amount of salvageable parts. Who knows, maybe the block could have been saved and just over bored a little. I am not an expert on big engines by any stretch. Just using stuff I have learned from turning wrenches in the past.
