Most likely something was missed in re-assembly and came apart as soon as the engine was run up to speed.

Was the engine disassembled after the AOS misdiagnosis or just the AOS fixed?

Maybe there was a bent con rod (or stressed con rod, bolts, cap, nuts?) from
a hydrolock situation.

Not evident when running at moderate RPMs.
