I've never heard a broken crank. Wonder if that's possible?

I did the same math, and comforted myself. I've been off-boat a few days, so will go down this week and do the screwdriver check and pop the valve-cover for a look. After that, I'll call the mechanic. Want to have in mind the problem before the mechanic is on site. The good news is that the tone sounds tinnier than thumpy. So the valve cover pull is a good first look. I can go that deep, but after that, I start getting a little worried.
Thanks!
