Would blow by cause engine to throw a rod?
No. Blow by means that compression is leaking past the rings into the crankcase. Other than burning oil and fouling the motor with exhaust and carbon, reduced power is the biggest result of blow by. A thrown rod means that the connecting rod has broken off and is swinging freely around inside the motor. A thrown rod is usually caused when the rod bearing seizes. Because the rod cannot rotate around the crank, the rod breaks off. This is a lubrication issue caused by low or no oil pressure. A thrown rod can also be caused if water or other uncompressable fluids are swallowed into the motor. This will bend the connecting rod leading to breakage.

How do you know if you have a thrown rod?
If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.If the engine is not stopped immediately, the problem can quickly progress to the point where the piston rod can break and leave the engine. The is the final definition of a "thrown rod"; your engine was tired of it sitting on the couch all day and threw it out with the trash ... along with other misc. parts (pistion, side of block, oil pan, etc.).A thrown rod is a serious condition that, if the car is not shutdown quickly, can lead to a dangerous situation on the road. Remember all that oil in your engine (4+ quarts)? If the engine throws the rod, it will dump it all over the road leaving a very slick streak to where your car comes to a stop. One gallon of oil can spread to cover an incredible amount of tarmac.
