these pictures are of my defender 97's crankshaft,it happened with no alert ,oil pressure was good no sign of heating ,and it was ordinary ride on the road while i suddenly heard knocks from the engine and immidiatly stoped the car,and tow it to a garage. the engine clocked 330000 k'm =200000 miles when it happened. my mechanic replaced the crankshaft all the bearings ,oil pump, clutch and flywheel and now it runs again.should i be concern about it any more?

hi ,my defender tdi 300 has broke it's crankshaft .somehow even though the engine was good till that moment ,the oil pressure and the heat gauge didn't show any truble ,there was oil as should be and for unsolved qeustion ,while I was driving the car , the engine became noisy,I didn't pushed my luck and tow it to a garage for inspection.then we found out the the crankshaft is cracked and fortunatly I stoped the car just in time.. I would like to know your'e opinion if it's a common problem ? (cast crankshaft).the engine clocked about 330000 km.is it possible that it will break in sudden ? till that moment there was no sign of problem. thanks.
