Is it bad when you can see your crank shaft?

That's purdy! Must have lost a rod. Are you sure it didn't make any noises before it died on ya?? How loud did you have the music cranked?

Wow..so..what part exactly is missing? For the non-engine-part literate..that's the lower engine, blew off the oil pan and a bit more? The crankshaft sits at the bottom of the V right?
Pardon my ignorance

The oil pan is actually a structural part of the engine on the newer engines, don't know when it started. Meaning there's no separate oil pan that you can drop with a gasket in between. Looks like the actual casing cracked and fell off.

Ah ok..yea I can definitely see the cracked/broken edges on the left and right of the pic.

The oil pan is still replaceable even though it is a 'structural' part of the engine. The change happened between '97 & '98 when they moved from the stamped steel pan to the cast aluminum pan. The aluminum pan is sealed with an o-ring as opposed to the old gasket that could be over compressed.
From the looks of it, something came loose in the rotating assembly (#1 or #2 cylinder rod would be my guess) and smashed the pan good. No other reason for that to happen really...
