I found what did my motor in. The vvt oil pump.

Found a spun bearing in the bad cylinder. Looks like I probably sucked the pan dry.

The extra slop in the rod cause it to come up more in the cylinder and hit the valve.

1 busted lifter, all the rest apear worn
3 bent valves
1 missing piston
1 piston broken off the rod
2 bent rods
1 spun bearning
2 cylinder sleeves with lots of chunks missing
cracked block
camshaft scored on a few lobes
both heads need lots of work
windage tray bent
Crank scored up
Oil pump burnt up
