What happened is that the headgasket started to lift causing it to warp and eventually crack allowing antifeeze into 3 of the 4 cylinders which when mixed with oil is not a very good lubricant... that is why i think the piston rings fried causing blow by, then the timing belt jumped 2 teeth bending 4 of the intake valves and 2 of the exhaust valves... i was lucky that the guides werent damaged and on the other cylinder i ended up snaping the connecting rod and sending it through the oil pan... OUCH! yeah not a pretty sight!!

The only reason i went into 5th is because i was surprised that it didnt blow earlier in the race and i wanted to see how much it could handle... come to say i will never do that again cause i knew it was stupid but i wanted it to blow.
