That rod guy have fabricated rods over 20 years rofessionally. He said he would not install those oem rods to the engine which produce more than 300hp. If i am building a high HP & € 3.0L engine, i would not use oem rods. You can take a risk if you like. You should also remember if use oem rods, they are over 20 years old. I suppose those Honda rods you are referring at are much younger.

Stroke is 88 mm vs 78.9 mm so the just by putting the rods in a 3.0l engine they're subjected to much greater stress.
Well... the tell-tale will be if the other 3 rods have any quantity of bend in them. f
Speaking of bent rods... where's the piece of missing rod?
The other thing, which would seem more like a logical explanation... with respect to a possible hydrolock, would be catastrophic head gasket failure. Now we're talking about enough fluid to easily hydrolock a cylinder big time ... which could potentially only show itself on one cylinder.

The headgasket (MLS) was intact and it did not seem to be any coolant in the crankcase/sump.

No, rpm's didn't have time to run away.
The engine actually never ran at 1.8 bar so to speak.
I never realised it was an overboost until afterwards when I started investigating things.
In 3rd gear at WOT the boost needle swung so fast it was ridiculous at at the very same time I felt boost hit - I mean exactly when it hit, not a moment aftwards - the engine broke.

Yes it is ....................
Duke that was when the Rod failed , not necessarily when it was damaged , it does appear you have been piling on the revs before .................
