1999 Firebird Overhaeting issues

On my 1999 Firebird 3.8l series 2 purchased 3 weeks ago, the engine threw a rod through the block and the shop I took it to in order to confirm my fears, said the cause most common on this engine was the fuel pressure regulator continuing to dump gas into cylinders on the intake stroke when the engine is shut off, thus eventually diluting the oil and of course the subsequent loss of lubrication results in what happened here. Whats the consensus on this? The oil appeared ok to me a few days before this happened, I was only turning about 2200rpm at 65mph, and other than a barely audible ticking sound on acceleration, which was attributed to poor gas, I was given no warning signs. Is this a viable explanation? And is it actually a common problem on the 3.8 series 2? 1 Answer
