Oil consumption came from a degradation of the cylinder walls which was very clear post-mortem. Thats nothing new, I have seen these engines lose their cylinders at 27K miles.

The rest of the failure was so shocking that I can't make any conclusive statements about what happened. It was so destroyed over so many different spectrums of the failure that it would be a pure guess to know which mode of failure started first.

The rod bearings were hurt much worse than the mains and that does tell me something.
