Next time your engine starts to make noises and vibrations, stop and get a tow. I mean ... your engine is showing hard evidence of failing and you step on the gas pedal ?

Had you stopped, you most likely would have just had to change some bearings. Now you can be sure there is huge damage, probably the whole engine is going to the bin...

i guess it died from oil starvation, probably started at the head (camshaft oiling galleries getting blocked is a known problem on these, it kills the head and then the whole engine goes)
