Default Zetec blow up

Hi all on the way to work my zetec (blacktop) engine blew (bottom end) the engine is in my mk4 3i running bike carbs so not a lot of power it's lost no oil and was just wondering if anyone's had this before and can I prevent it with the next engine
Cheers
Paul

To many areas to cover ... you need to see where the issue lies first was it oil starvation fuel starvation ...fuel bore wash etc
