Oh dear, happened to me too. I know how it feels...

My 427SO had 390 rods, one snapped. The beach marks showed a pre-stressed point which the builder failed to find during testing such rods.
Had I known about the 390 rods, I would have rebuilt the engine with decent ones before finishing the car. I got no compensation.

That's one of those things when you buy an unfinished kit.
