In most cases, no. Although, I have seen engines "throw a rod" and continue to run, poorly but not for long.
It's possible but not very likely. The broken rod will ultimately jam the crankshaft.
It generally means the engine is destroyed. Because of a worn out bearing, a connecting rod separates from the crankshaft and exits out the side of the engine block causing catastrophic damage thus, thrown a rod.
bad/worn out rod bearings.Lack of oil.Lack of oil & filter changes.Incorrect oil.Over revving.

A bad engine rod is an engine rod that has misbeheaved.
Fling can mean to throw or hurl with force; it can also be a slang term for one night stand or a short-term sexual relationship between two people.
Too much oil in your car will not cause it to throw a rod. Too much oil in the engine will create a higher than normal engine pressure and can cause the engine seals to fail.
