Ok...
Who wants to guess what happened first?? I have more pics to share, but they'll give away the mode of failure completely..

See that bolt? what is it? where is it from? It was in perfect condition before it's ride up the "conveyor belt" (timing chain) where it met the exhaust cam and thats finished the engine off.

This happened at 60 MPH, the car wasn't on the track.. Bazaar!
