It will be interesting to learn what initiated the carnage.We can learn from the post-mortem even if it is just one of the classic "Modes of Failure" for the M96.
What failed first?
1. Did the oil pump drive shaft fail ? upgraded part availble from LN
2. Did the chain ramps disintegrate ? known weakness
3. Weak chain tensioner(s) + over-rev ? age/abuse/low oil pressure
4. Stretched chain(s). known weakness on older M96 for which upgrades are available
