Tore down the seized motor:
This is the passenger side timing tensioner. Looks like it seized due to lack of oil pressure. The result is the failure of the timing chain and tensioner guides. Yuck.
This is the drivers side. It's what it's suppose to look like.
There's a piece of the tensioner guide in the crank.
Stripped down. I'm going to clean it tonight, and it should be weighted tomorrow evening.
