here's my story

i bought a jdm engine got it rebuilt to spec . i put on a 16g 520injectors i removed the balance shaft put on some head studs and exhaust .

so 2000 km i'm still doing a nice and slow break in. i was driving one day and i gave the car some gas and shifted a 5000rpm. then i start to hear this noise so i pull over and open the hood, give the car some gas and i hear this load grinding noise.
so next day i bring the car to a shop that built my motor and they pull off my oil pan and you see my #1 bearing torn and stating to shed off metal shreds. i put in new bearings so i don't see how this happened. the turbo was new.

can anyone tell me how this happened i never even floored the car, was it just a defective bearing??? or did my 6 bold crank walk

thx for your help
 
they said the main bearing was fine


just that the bearing started to chip or get worn and it caused my rod to bend and get the crank damage
