The latest engine tear down from the I Do Cars YouTube channel is of a 5.3 Chevy, from either a Silverado or Tahoe. Watch when he removes the oil pan. This is the definition of "it done blowed up", as the NASCAR boys used to say. These videos are like watching an automotive autopsy.
 
Saw that last night. Quite dirty but bearings were not that bad—wondered what the rings look like, must be ok as the heads were not carboned up.

Impressive damage. It’s like a rod snapped, for no good reason, and once oil pressure quit, it got shut down.
