With a piston pin pulled from the top half of the piston it indicates piston to cylinder wall seizing.
This can happen with any type of engine - if piston becomes too hot and not enough clearance to cylinder walls. Not uncommon with turbocharged deals.
So how does the rod bolt manage to snap after the rod snapped? The bottom end of the rod wouldn't have any strain put on it if the rod had snapped first surely?
