Hello qthurs2
Yes, if the rod bearing at the crankshaft or the wrist pin at the piston end of the connecting rod lets go, the engine will need to be rebuilt. or replaced if a piece of the rod go's through the block.
I wish I had better news. Hope this is helpful.
If you have a connecting rod problem then you have a serious problem. This is the rod that hooks the piston to the crankshaft. Get it looked at before you send a piston through the side of the engine. I will cost more to replace the entire engine. Most reputable mechanics can replace the rod, bearing, and related parts for a reasonable cost. Good luck, do it soon
