Ok i think that the pin may be sherd, but i do not think this was the problem, If you lost a rod, its more likely that is what made this motor grenade, Think about it, we have seen a sherd pin in a cam before and it bent valves and push rods but never the rods.

When we use to Run 1/4 mi race cars we had a motor let go like this we ran aluminum rods and trying to save $ we ran the sets to long and one let go, But it did not go true the pan, it went up and lets say the only parts we reused after that was the pan & heads the rest was scrap.

So i say it was the rod that went out first and that made the cam get pushed out of timing and then you lost the rest.
