No, the rod doesn't broke, the origin of the problem probably was a poor lubricating conditions in the bearing that allow to a heavy crank and rod wear.

If the engine power is going to be two times the actual at the same engine speed, that means the engine torque will be two times the actual, and this means the force in the rod will be two times the actual, I think the original crank and rod weren't designed to work in that conditions. To have a RELIABLE engine mean to design a new crank-rod-piston system taking into account the new conditions.

Thanks
