Any good shop would have a bore scope and look for the tell tail wear marks of a broken ring land / seized ring. Remmember it is not the rod bolt breaking and the rod flying out, it is the piston locking into the bore that fails the rod bolt then the rod flies through the block.
Well I hope you didn't go into the shop and break mine ahahah JK JK

Really hoping for best. I sure don't need my motor blowing up the 2nd day home.
