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!

Nice rod bolt where did you find the nut?
as hard as those damn things are to break loose (I must be a whuss, I need a breaker bar to move them), hard to believe they will come loose on their own and back out.
Bummer.
We've switched to ARP rod bolts on our builds, hope they fair a little better.
