I think I'll have to inspect the crank journals before installing the next crank. Live and learn I guess...

Asshanson, I've not yet verified if more than one spun. You can see oil coming out of 2 of the other rod bearings, but nothing on 4. If both 2 and 4 spun it really makes no sense because the oil galleries I believe are different to both bearings.
