Eagle rods, fail!!!!!
I have eagle rods on my 2.0. 700+ hp and Motor going on 4 years now.... Sounds like an assembly error which caused the rod to break that quickly. I never seen an eagle rod broke in half, seen plenty of bent ones though
OP, when you take it apart, it would be very helpful to take quality pictures of everything to document condition for the "autopsy". Good luck in finding out the cause of your failure.
The pictures you need are of the rod itself, the rod bearings, the cylinder it came out of, what your oil particles and shavings look like when you drain the motor, and similar potential causes of the failure.
The hole in the block is the result, not the cause.

What were the gaps on the mains,rods, piston to wall clearance, what oil, what oil pump?
If the motor previously spun a bearing and you had it rebuild/built. Was the crank cleaned out, oil cooler,oil lines ect...
Far to many things is this puzzle. Live and learn, just because your friend works for Mitsubishi pretty much means he can diagnose a problem and change a part, doesn't make him an engineer or someone who possess the knowledge to build an engine and have it last 200,000 miles
I want you to see the part if the rod that is partially out of the engine.
had a buddy put a hole in a $9000 fully built k24. To our best guess, with a massive window in the block, a missing rod, and an eerily intact piston, we are pretty sure the engine builder put the floating wrist pin in backwards. it let go with no warning at 9k rpm's
ive never personally seen many rods let loose at moderate power levels without installer error like this being the cause.

So hes a good parts changer, that does not mean that he is an engine builder.

sucks for your loss, as soon as pictures are taken of the top of the head, the piston parts and everything. Do you have a wideband on your car? What Injectors and fuel?
just out curiosity what piston and rod assembly, I have built tons of k series motors and never knew the wrist pin could be backwards.
