"Removed the carbs and was able to access the rod in question. The powerhead is fairly new, less than 200 hours and the #2 cylinder (I believe) rod bearing is toast.

"Thanks for the reply. This is a Yamaha Corp. remanufactured powerhead. Looks to be a lack of lubrication due to contamination in the oil injecttion line.
