It's a good idea before you start tearing the engine out to diagnose it. I would doubt that because a rod was broken that the engine would not start. After reading your earlier posts, it was assumed that you were certain the motor needed replacing, and TerryS went to lengths to explain how. Not starting could be related to one or more of the symptoms you have described. I'd try to sort out those first and get the motor started, then you will have a better idea of whats wrong with it. Perhaps nothing serious at all.
