The engine was never over revved.. It had no signs of any over rev in the valve train and the remainder of the engine looked great inside.

The driver just heard a large bang and then a rattle- He thought the engine snapped a rod in half and so did I until my initial inspection before tear down.

I have never seen a crank snap in any engine from an over rev, the first thing that sees over rev damage is valvetrain components.
