Watched this whole thing. Thought it was really cool to see this engine taken apart.

Let's see what caused this clean failure...
A piece of piston shaving ended spinning a con. rod bearing after contaminating clean oil circuit through filter bypass valve.

44:50 if you want to skip to the "what happened" portion.
For me, I found the process of disassembling the engine and parts to be the most interesting. The "why" of the failure was secondary.

Erik's dismantling video are always a lot of fun to watch !! 
I saw this video already a couple month back.
M276/8 engines do not have any oil pressure nor temp sensors. The Bosch firmware is able to guestimate oil conditions...
