However, on modern day engines, oil pressure and engine lube is set by the pump pushing oil thru the crankshaft main bearings, 'across' the rod bearing surfaces, and then to the camshaft bearing surfaces; and all the while working against an oil pressure spring loaded regulator plug. So, with one rod off, the resultant effect would be "0" pressure, lube starvation and an immediate failure (roughly 45 minutes). Allan
