Oil pan makes a nice random parts tote....

Nice new starter; pull the glow plugs to decompress the engine (that is, if ANY of the pistons are still connected....), bypass the clutch switch, turn the key and use the starter motor to get around town....

That will buff right out... NOT..

Looks to me like I'm seeing the remains of the wrist pin still in the broken rod? Also the remains of the grenaded piston.

Good job... Glad the only critical injury was to the wallet and no one was hurt from it locking up in rush hour traffic. It could have gone way worse.

I'm also gonna go with spun bearing, then lack of oil flow to piston cooler so it stuck a piston. Bottom end problems don't cause smoke, when the piston stuck it pulled the rod cap off and the crank hit the rod. Thats why there twisted and the journal has big gouges in it. When it happens on 3406's it pulls the piston pin out of the bottom of the piston then you have the whole rod not connected to anything swinging around on the crank laying waste to everything. :eek:
